Baby Praying Mantis

It's a baby praying mantis!

 A couple of weeks ago we found a baby praying mantis in one of our front yard flower beds.  He became attached to Tim and he couldn't put him down without the mantis clamoring back to him.  It was really cute.

Here he is on out bottlebrush bush:

 I love this picture.  He was so sweet.  We couldn't get him to eat so we let him go later that same night never to see him again.

 Here is our egg sack.  We are still waiting for them to hatch. IF it ever hatches we should have between 100 - 200 babies.
