jake's mantis eating a cricket
this beautiful specimen is just in the midst of mincing the head off of one of his little mates.
i was lucky enough to get a Chinese Mantis ootheca from a friend last summer (thanks Stef). it hatched about 40 (they can sometimes hatch 1 - 300!). poor little Crawley is the last of the brood.
and here (below) is one from another egg case. this one was a Budwing Mantis ootheca that i got from a local enthusiast (thanks Jean!). it hatched about 80 or so. i have just four left. they're beautiful creatures. i'll try to post some shots of the hatching. it was incredible.
