Okay, this is not my picture, but imagine this happening in a 32oz glass jar:

I found a praying mantis egg case in the wild rose bush outside my window. Actually, I didn't know what the hell it was, but internet searches of bug cocoons + what lives in our area suggested it was the egg case of a Chinese praying mantis. I stuck it in a jar thinking nothing would really happen, since it seemed so light and empty. There was nothing but the egg case in there when I left for class this morning, so I guess they hatched out while I was in class today.
I am so stupidly amused by this. I may actually buy another egg case online next year and do it again if my babies don't leave me any. ;)
