Bugs!

If some remember a couple of years ago we grew caterpillars that eventually turned into butterflies. We released them in the back yard. Last year we had two tadpoles that never turned into frogs. Keeping them for a year, they were released into our pond. This year we have ordered praying mantises! Im so excited. The praying mantis kit should be arriving within 2 weeks with an egg case that contains 75-200 growing eggs and a netted house. Praying Mantis has moved from my second favorite bug to first favorite bug, taking the place of the lady bug.
Ill keep you posted on our praying mantis babies!
