Praying Mantis Egg Case on a Mesquite Tree Branch — Image by kenne
While taking some children on a nature walk during the Beyond Tucson Event in Sabino Canyon, I reached up to pull down a mesquite tree branch to demonstrate the small leaf size and spotted a praying mantis egg case — a teaching moment. If I had looked for one, it would not have happen.
Later this spring a hundred or more praying mantis’ will emerge from the case.
