Malaysian Moss Mantis (Haania confusa) hatches. Females deposit small clusters of nearly bare ova, often by hanging upside down by their rear legs to deposit on limbs of moss or lichen. The nymphs tend to hatch a few at a time over several days. In this instance two hatch and the heads of two more can be seen emerging if you look closely at 02:34. Unfortunately I was late for work and couldn't stick around to continue recording.
