Blurry Bugs

Our friend Beth used to buy praying mantis egg sacs for a few years and even gave me one for a present.  These days she doesn't have to buy them as they do what bugs are quite good at- reproducing, and now she has dozens of egg sacs all over her garden.  She even gave me a couple for my birthday this year.  I put one in a jar to observe when it would hatch, and when they did on June 20 I scattered them around the garden.  I decided to put the other in the jar and get to see the show all over again, when I took this blurry video this morning they were still pouring out of the sac and now they're all on search and destroy missions around the garden.
