My house gets to 68F-72F.
I’ve had them since Thursday and I am wondering when they will hatch.
Some people say you can lightly mist the pupae, some say that will kill them.

Some say room temp is fine for hatching, some say it isn’t enough.
Can someone please help me out? I would deeply appreciate it. :)

Warmth will speed up their metabolism, 68 - 72 degrees is pretty cold.

Used them for various mantids previously, mine would take between 4-6 days from coming out the fridge to hatching (room temp pretty consistent at 70-75F) but more heat will speed this up.

I did not spray/mist the pupae until after they have hatched out. At that point I just sprayed down a wall so they could hydrate from the droplets.
