Mantis

Our praying mantis that was living at our house since we moved in has died. We found it last night laying in the dirt of one of the plants on our porch. Sad.
We moved all of the plants to the garage cause it was so cold and we saw a little nasty growth thing on one of the leaves. After a little research online, we found out that it is a Mantis egg sack! It will hatch between 4-8 weeks after it starts getting warm again and have 100-200 babies. Wow!
