One morning, not long ago, we saved a little praying mantis from an early frost. It made a home in an abandoned hermit crab cage, ate several crickets and assorted moths and other bugs, and one night, BLAM!! laid an egg case on the inside lip of the cage (can't get good picture of it).
Then, a couple of days later, Matilda could no longer resist the grip of age on her tired exoskeleton, and succumbed to the reaper.
Matilda, rest in peace. In about 6 months, we'll let you know how/if her progeny spring forth.
R.I.P. Matilda, 2008-2008.
