My European Mantis Ootheca started to hatch today. I can't believe how much my Chinese Mantids have grown in the past 3 weeks. They are 3-4 times the size of these newly hatched European nymphs.
On a side note I have started seperating some of the Chinese Mantid nymphs. I am going to raise 6 of them. I am putting them in individual gallon jars for the time being. In the Chinese Mantis nymphs there are 2 disctinct sizes. Small and large. The large are just about double the size of the small ones. I am thinking the small ones are males. I am seperating 3 of them first so the large ones don't eat them.
