Nope...it's not chickens.  Nope...not turtles either.  Actually it's one more of our exciting insect activities.  This year we decided to try something new in the insect world.  Praying Mantis' seemed as good an insect as any, since I am not really all that crazy about have insects in my home.  Well, this super light weight egg that resembles a round piece of fried pork rinds has been sitting in a bug net for weeks.  I was actually beginning to wonder if they were going to hatch at all.  One of the cooles things, was that there was around 300 of them!  And the old wman in teh shoe thought she had a lot of children! 

 

We just woke up and there they were.  Here are some pics of us letting the majority of them go...I certainly can not feed that many mouths on our tight budget.  LOL!

 

Ok, this one is fuzzy, but it is the egg. 

 

Here's what was left in our bug box after we tried to free most of them.

 

Here are some enjoying their new found home in our yard.  I hope I can post these big enough for you to see, as these pics are ReALly cool!

 

 

 

Then there are those children who just have a hard time leaving their home and family.

 

 

 

 

How Cool is that?!
