There is a cool bird and outdoor store near our house that sells praying mantis cocoon-type things that I call pods. I bought one a few months back, along with a butterfly netted house to hatch them in, and Kira's preschool teachers kept a close eye on it for us. One day when I dropped her off it hatched and out came hundreds of baby praying mantises! Uh, what is the plural for of mantis? :)
It was cool.
What is even cooler is that these little critters are lethal bug eaters. They are great near any garden area, which is where they are now! Well, I think they are around my garden... they also are very good hiders. I haven't seen one since I released them!
