PRAYING MANTIS EGG

MY OBSERVATIONS


09-11-2010



                      A long leathery egg case was found in Aracaria cunnighamia plant. In the same plant three praying                            mantis were also seen. The egg may be of praying mantis


24-01-2011
                     Near the egg case a praying mantis was seen regularly





04-03-2011
                   Not yet emerged. So examined microscopically and found it is already emerged   egg case. 
                   In this long egg case two cavities were there inclined upward and a single door- like lid for these two                         openings. Young one emerging out by pushing the lid upward. The lid is constructed in such a way that                      no water can enter inside the case
