Could the insect emerging from the Preying Mantis' egg case possibly be a hatching preying mantis?

Yes, hatching preying mantis, I just saw a video of them hatching, loads of them, millions, you will be overrun, ha ha. I wish I had them hatching in my garden, I was thinking of buying one for a pet and to photograph. I am in love with your Tree frog, do you have Big Game as well in your reserve?

Yes. Have watched this many times. In about a half hour it will readily eat fruit flies, and it's siblings. Cannibalistic.

There are embryonic cuticles next to it, so its siblings have hatched, molted (they do that as they emerge), and dispersed. I think this one did not molt right and may be dead now. I really like that last tree frog picture.
