My praying mantises hatched today. When i got home from school and went to check on them and there were little babies climbing all over the place. This is my second hatching of praying mantises, unfortunatly they all died, but hopefully this batch will do better.

I am fairly sure the species is Tenodera aridifolia, from ootheca shape and from what i can see of the nymphs. I think my first batch died of fungus, we had a dead plant in there and i think it was the source of the fungus.
