I don't think I've ever seen more Praying Mantis in one place. Cool shot, Bud, and congrats on POTD!

Thanks for all of the comments! There were probably 200 of these little guys and gals that came out of the egg case which was located at the base of the trellis in our garden. I could see the movement on the top from 50 feet away and was fortunate enough to capture it here.
