Three egg cases (containing approximately 200 eggs per case) with instructions per order.
Preying (also called Praying) Mantids (plural for mantis) eat a wide variety of garden pests. When young, they devour aphids, thrips, flies, maggots, small caterpillars, leafhoppers, grubs and other soft-bodied insects. Mature mantids feed on larger caterpillars, earwigs, chinch bugs, sow bugs, beetles, grasshoppers, and other larger insects.
Mantids stay in your garden and wait for an insect to walk by. They then grab it with their strong grasping forelegs and begin munching away.
They make fascinating pets and are fun to watch. Put one in one of our critter habitats and observe.
Use 3 cases per 1500 sq. ft. (Approximately). Allow at least 6 weeks of continuous warmth for them to hatch.
Live insects may only be shipped within the Continental United States (may not be shipped to Hawaii) unless you provide an import permit from your Agriculture Dept..
Out of season.
