It's so cute!
If I go out back and hose down my aloe vera, I get like 30 little brown ones crawling out. They're so funny.
I Showed one to my cockatiel but he snapped it in half with his beak! I was so upset! gonk

The only time I've seen baby ones was in a science class we took as a kid at a then-local kid's museum. They gave each family half and egg sack and instructions on how to hatch them. They said it would take about 2 weeks. Ours hatched in about 4 days. I for some reason because insistent we check on it, and we opened the coffee can to find about 200 of the little things crawling around. =D

KingJack! May we read the long story about the choice of naming?
Basically, my brother was playing the original .Hack// game for the PS2 at the time. One of the characters the player befriends in the game is named Gardenia. She's basically a very grouchy, self-interested, and demanding person. If you click on the button to talk to her, instead of any normal greeting like you'd expect from someone you befriend/go on lengthy quests with, she gives a, "What?" in a tone that sounds like you've been prodding her annoyingly for an hour.
Well, praying mantises look rather serious as it is, and this one stood watching me most of the time I took photos with that same, "What?" pose, so my brother figured it was a suitable name. The fact that she was in our mini vegetable garden made it more entertaining a choice, but it wasn't actually a reason for naming her that....
