My mother and I went to trim an elderly friend's hedge tonight and lo and behold, I found a ton (and I do mean a TON) of mantid egg cases. I brought a handful or so home just to see if I could hatch and then release them, since we're really low on wild mantids at my house and they're so darn cool to watch. Anyway, my question is... these cases look like they were laid last fall (or nearing the end of summer, maybe? I'm not a mantid expert) and I'd like to know when exactly these little boogers might hatch (if they're even fertile) and I'm curious to see if anybody's got any more advice for me
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
