[QUOTE="Peter Clausen, post: 161177, member: 421"] Look to nature! A mantis tends to lay its ootheca on a solid surface, while the rest of the ootheca is exposed to air. The goal is always to reproduce natural conditions. An ootheca can hatch just fine laying on its side in the bottom of a deli cup, though most of the time this will cause losses. While nature offers many examples of parallel and perpendicular angles, mantises seem to choose angles between those extremes for their oothecae. The same is true in captivity, when they have options. There are many reasons we could suppose they do this, but mainly, it works for them! [/QUOTE]
