Fluidr / Mantid laying eggs by cheryl.rose83

I'm always seeing mantid egg cases and was hoping I'd eventually see how they were created. When I saw this ootheca, I looked closer and saw it was just being formed. It must take quite a while, as I observed for several minutes, walked down the trail and when I came back it didn't look much different.
