myfatherslily Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 My daughter found two praying mantis egg cases about a month ago, so we put them in our butterfly garden to await their arrival. One of them hatched tonight! As far as I can tell, it was only one case that hatched. Tons of tiny praying mantises! But OF COURSE my daughter is not home! I've heard that if you don't set them free pretty quickly, they will start to eat each other. Do you think they'll be okay to leave in there until tomorrow afternoon? Is there something I should feed them? It's really very cool! I am wishing my kids were home right now! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks! I really just want them to hang in there till tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I can lure some ants into the house... Where are all the fruit flies when you actually NEED them, right? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
