New Zealand Mantis

[TNeal]

Does anyone know about how long it takes for an ootheca from the New Zealand mantid to hatch?

I have had several oothecae for about 4 months now. I had them in the fridge for about 2 months for their brumation period. They have now been out of the fridge for about 3 weeks.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom

no idea but they are sweet, i saw those in nz but in many areas they have been replaced by the south african mantis that is very common, you will find one on almost every garden bush!
