[QUOTE="Budwing, post: 334065, member: 11149"] I dont release any into the enviroment, no way. When I said free range I mean inside a pollytunnel. I provide cover plants for them then basicly let them take care of themselves. I will drop blue bottle casters and crickets in now and again if food looks low. They can eat plenty and are sometimes too succesful at pest control so need the odd bit of help. The mantis that are left once they reach sub adult are obviously the strongest and are the ones Im using for breeding. So far Im only doing this with tenedora. Tenedora ootheca can last our Irish winters in the garage or shed until spring. I doubt the nymphs would. They need constant temperatures of 20°C to hatch and molt. Best not to leave ootheca in the house or they can hatch and get everywhere. [/QUOTE]
