## Caption

All jokes aside, these baby mantids are contributing to important research behind the scenes! Our team of zookeepers are currently conducting a study to better understand mantis welfare, growth, and life cycles. By providing different diets and tracking factors like weight, behavior, and development, we can give our animals the best possible care. 

While they’re not on exhibit yet, you can still discover plenty of incredible animals during your visit. Head to butterflies.org to learn more!
