Praying Mantis Egg Cases
|
Many people LOVE having pet praying mantises. Or, as mentioned above, they make a very useful "garden pet" that will eat harmful insects such as aphids.
Don't forget the incredible classroom science project that mantises will make.
Upon receipt of your praying mantis egg case, hang the case in your enclosure or in a shady area amongst your garden foliage.
The egg case will hatch many many mantises after approximately 2-8 weeks of warm weather.
The newly hatched nymphs will soon begin stalking prey.
Our flightless fruit flies, mini silkworms and
rice flour beetle larvae make a very
appropriate feeder for the baby mantises.
As they grow, feed them larger items, such as fly larvae and larger silkworms.
Please be sure you have an appropriate enclosure on hand. There can be no small openings that
the mantis nymphs will escape out of. Try the nymph enclosure shown below.
Just feed them, keep them warm and give them space as they grow
and you'll
have full-grown adults in no time.
You can even teach them tricks!
