Mantis Update

I was deadheading the roses this morning and this fine praying mantis hopped out of one of the bushes and onto the side of the house. It is about 2 1/2 inches long - much larger than the ones I saw a few weeks ago. Hopefully that means she's eating well! I believe it came from the mantis egg case I hung in the Blaze climbing rose.
