my daughter and I have a tradition of buying 5 or so egg sacks every year and hatching them. When I was in 3rd grade, my mom was big into organic gardening and made me do a report on them. We hatched a ton into her garden. Ive been fascinated with them ever since.
I found this egg sack in the yard a couple weeks ago.
I saw quite a few tiny, just hatched mantises one time. Little bitty things.

You talk about a creepy looking bastard. This is a leaf footed bug. It is a pest that eats garden plants and such.

The bastard fought
And didn’t give up
He kept on trying
Until he made it

Leaf cutter ants are pretty cool.We used to have a huge colony on our property,they would strip all the leaves off bunches of beauty berry bushes.
We still have the beauty berries but no ants.
