A few months ago there was some kind of mantis/stick insect in the garden. She laid an egg pod and disappeared. Well apparently today the egg pod hatched and there's about 30 tiny baby mantis crawling up the wall. I'll try and get a decent photo to post.

Always love seeing the mantiseses in the chilli patch sometimes. Truly apex ruin other insects day up there with ladybugs.
