It is that time of the year for baby mantises. However I didn’t actively search for the egg cases this year nor come across any in my dog walks etc. So you can mark on the calendar that it’s the first time that I can remember that I did NOT have praying mantis egg masses to release in my yard. So here’s my video of mantises emerging.
2015 My first praying mantids of the season emerged out of its egg mass this morning. Looks like hundreds. I spread them out among the gardens.

I am semi retired after 35 plus years at the phone company. I have been writing nature and insect observations for over 50 years. I also had several articles published in the now defunct Young Entomologists Society journal in the 1990's. While I walk the dog or drive cars in farm country I have lots of thoughts I want to have a wider audience for, so I took a class on blogging to see how it goes. I also plan to comment on lots of pop music trivia, memories etc., including on my favorite artists; Tommy James and the Shondells, his solo stuff. The Doobie Brother's and John Mellencamp.
