The butterflies my mom and I raised just got set free. I’m super emotional.
Here’s a little Youtube playlist of videos I took of them. The last one is their release into the world.

Decided to let my last mantis free outside. She just wasn't thriving in captivity. It was very cool hatching them. Next year I'll order later in the year so I can release them sooner.

I ordered a Praying Mantis Egg Case from InsectLore.com
The shipping was very fast and they were well packaged. They came with a guide on care. I’ll let you know if I get any to hatch!

Tomorrow they all get released to enjoy some sunshine and nature. Welcome to the world. #butterflies #caterpillar #insectlore #lincolnshire (at Spalding, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRJ7DyXDdNA/?utm_medium=tumblr
