I bought an ootheca, and since it was slightly cold outside i decided to hatch them on top of my fridge. Well it turns out they hatched faster than i had anticipated and my food hadnt arrived yet so i had to spend my day picking up over a hundred tiny mantises running around my kitchen and they all died before their food arrived. :(
@TehPostman I'm not sure about a newborn nymph, but the older ones eat small insects, such as fruit flies or small moths.
I assume a newborn nymph would do the same, but on a smaller scale, since they're almost exact replicas of the parents, so they're probably capable to hunt as soon as they're born.
Does anybody know what I should do after the egg is layed. I am from oregon and she layed the egg yesterday, november 12. Do i put in in the fridge, and if so how long? What do I do after that? PLEASE HELP!!
@co0kie5421 I didn't feed them. Since I didn't keep them confined, they all went their own ways. I assume they know how to take care of themselves, otherwise the mother would've fed them, or something.
@rudolphsteinkampf so do these things fly also how long does iit take for it to grow fully... one more question how to determin wether its a female or male
@TheBran1262 Mantis nymphs don't have wings, but they can jump to get where they need to be. I'm not sure how long it takes them to mature, i.e. ready to mate. They undergo a few molts before they reach maturity, but I have no idea how many molts.
