Hatching nymphs!

[plerny300]

I didn’t expect this egg to hatch! I don’t too much praying mantises in my area so when I found an Ootheca I didn’t expect it to hatch. I had some Chinese mantis Oothecas recently so I just kept the other Ootheca with it just in case, but it just did hatch so I’m glad it didn’t hatch in my house! I think they’re Carolina mantises, but I have no idea, it came from my backyard and it doesn’t really look like a Chinese mantis Ootheca so I don’t think they’re Chinese mantises.

I found this pic online that might help identify the species.
