Weeks after spotting a strange foam-like case on my porch, I learned it was a praying mantis egg sac. I left it alone, curious but unsure what would come of it.
One spring morning, the answer arrived — hundreds of tiny mantises hatched, spilling across the brick and doorframe like living jewels. Their delicate green bodies shimmered in the sunlight, each one a perfect miniature.
Neighbors gathered as I watched in awe. What began as an ordinary day became a reminder that even the smallest creatures can bring wonder, peace, and joy.
