Baby Praying Mantis

Right before our bike ride this past weekend Shannon made an interesting discovery: there was a small cluster of at least 8 baby praying mantis (manti?) crawling on her bike handle. Click to enlarge:

How cool is that?! Mantis usually lay eggs in the fall, and once the weather warms up the eggs take 6-8 weeks to hatch. Keep your eyes open out there - lots of very cool bugs to see as summer gets into full swing!

Cool! I used to see Praying Matiseses every so often when I lived in the midwest. Not so much in Texas, but I did see a stick bug the other day (not my picture, but an accurate representation):
