I am one little happy camper!! I have waited ALL winter to see this!!
The praying mantis babies are being born!!
Hundreds of them come out of the cocoon on this little stringy looking thing

Once they are out, it takes a few minutes for them to take off!
I was so happy and so sad all the same time!! I am thrilled that they are here and was so sad to see how quickly they scatter! But I know they come out hungry so they had to go find some 'breakfast'!

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
1 John 3:16
