When I was very young, one year at Christmas, my dad cut down a live tree from his parents place. (They had several acres of woods.) Dad didn't notice the praying mantis coccoon hiding in the tree. We had an extra-special-bonus-surprise for Christmas that year when the coccoon hatched while the tree was inside the house. According to the rest of the family, it was horrible having all those baby mantises everywhere in the house. (I wass too young to remember that. Unfortunately.)

I love them outside. I don't think I would have enjoyed a whole family in the Christmas tree!
