What a cool way to end the week! Mr. Sandman had given our class two praying manis eggs last week, and we were beginning to wonder if they would ever hatch. But just this morning, lo and behold! One of the pouches opened and out came TONS of the little critters! We made some great observations today, but because praying mantises are much harder to feed than butterflies I had to set them free this afternoon. So if you happen to find a praying mantis this summer, it may be one of our little friends :)

| They were white when they first came out! |
 |
| Look at them all... |
 |
And they just kept coming!

By the afternoon they were green

On my hand, getting ready to go.
