    A Fantastic Addition To The Garden Or As A Science Project!
    Praying mantids eat a wide variety of pest insects, mites, and insect eggs.
    Mantis egg cases are commonly released by gardeners looking for general garden pest control without chemicals. They can be instrumental in beginning biological control as part of an integrated pest management program. Young mantids prey upon smaller soft-bodied insects, while adults graduate to larger pests. View an extended list of mantis prey below.
    How Long Do Praying Mantis Egg Cases Take To Hatch?
    Hatching requires at least 4 to 8 weeks of continuous warm weather (75-80°F, >50% RH) and can take as long as 6 weeks to begin. Once hatching begins, the young
    mantids
    emerge looking for something to eat. It takes just a few hours for an egg sack to complete hatching once it begins. Mantids prefer temperatures above 60°F for continued activity in the release area.
    How Many Praying Mantids Are In One Egg Case?
    Each praying mantis egg case, called ootheca, is collected in the wild and contains between 150?200 individual eggs.
    How Many Egg Cases Should I Get?
    We recommend using 3 cases every 5,000 sq. ft. or 10-100 cases per acre. It is important to space out each egg case to limit cannibalism rates among newly hatched mantids.

    egg cases are collected in the wild during the early winter months. All orders placed JUNE 1st or later are subject to variable hatch rates due to the effects of storage. We recommend hatching
    praying mantis
    egg cases in resealable containers or our
    Hatching Habitat Bag
    that allow for monitoring; however, cannibalism among mantids increases when they are hatched out and kept in confined environments with limited food sources. Please release immediately after hatching.
    We do every thing to ensure that you have the freshest egg. There is no way to tell if the egg have been fertilized or not.
    There for we
    cannot guarantee
    that all egg's will hatch. By ordering these egg cases you agreed to these terms.
