Praying Mantis Egg

Yesterday I found a pregnant praying mantis on a bush. I picked it up and put it near my bag at morning tea. My chromebook case was open and it must have crawled into it. When I saw it at lunch time I thought it was dead when I opened it to see an egg in it! I told my friend that it laid an egg and she told me to tell a teacher. It was definitely an egg! It did not seem to care about it's egg so
I enjoyed helping to make a home for it.
I found it easy to let it free.
I found it tricky to make the box like it's the habitat of a praying mantis.
Here are some photos of the praying mantis and egg before I let the praying mantis go.
