Look at the legs of this
Carolina Mantis in our yard. It’s Sept. 22, and we live in Raleigh, NC. I have tried googling to see if these are eggs, but, I only see pics of the egg sac (otheca??), not singular eggs. Are these actual the eggs of that Mantis, or, something else? Thanks so much!

Parasitized Carolina Mantis
Dear Sjanet,
We cannot imagine this tragic parasitization to be caused by anything other than a fly. We hope we are able to identify the Maggots for you. Hopefully one of our readers will be able to assist.
