Product Description

The European mantis (Mantis religiosa) is a large hemimetabolic insect in the family of the Mantidae ('mantids'), which is the largest family of the order Mantodea (mantises). M. religiosa vary in coloration from different shades of yellow, brown, green, and sometimes black. They are one of the best predator insects, eating about any bug except the valuable Lady Bugs. Your Praying Mantis egg cases are currently refrigerated to regulate hatching; once removed and exposed to warm temperatures of 70 to 90 degrees F., the average hatch time is 10-20 days, but can take up to 8 weeks. Simply refrigerate the egg cases until you are ready. Each egg case will yield from 50-200 baby Praying Mantis. Most hatch at once, but some hatching may take up to 8 weeks. The European Mantis, or Mantis religiosa, is a mantis species originally from Europe but has established itself in North America too. It was imported from Europe to North America in the 1600’s to combat plant pest insects. It is seen as the archetype of a mantis. Generally purchased by mantid & insect enthusiasts, hobbyists, schoolteachers, or most important for garden pest control. With the egg case we include egg hatching bag and instructions.
