Wee. Some praying mantis just laid like a dozen eggs in my brother's room and they all hatched.
So i have a few dozen baby praying mantises around me as i'm typing this.
I think my brother is really a kind soul. He was gathering all the mantises this morning to set them free in the garden.
For some reason, these baby mantises like to climb to high places.
There's like 5 high high up the window.
Wonder if they're waiting for the wind to pick them up and carry them away. You know...as a form of dispersion.

For the oblivious, a praying mentis looks like this

Now we all know that mentises start out black and not green
