Last night was very exciting & buggie ! Our praying mantis's FINALLY hatched. We have been waiting for 5 weeks now for them to hatch . Which to the kids seemed like an eternity. Just when we started reading the pamphlet on what to do if they didn't hatch... boom, there they were 100- 200 of them in the little pagoda from Insect Lore.
Today we released some of them into our garden, , my mom's garden & then anyone who could take them. We are keeping 4 for pets :) We'll see how that goes. The kids are crazy excited looking for aphids to feed them & worrying about who has the better habitat. It's making me buggie ! But I'm glad they are having fun.
Reminds me of when you kids were little- always catching fireflies in jars
