[QUOTE="callisto9, post: 314575, member: 10507"] We brought Barry Mantilow, a Carolina Mantis, indoors last fall after we saw her on our front porch. I'd never seen a mantis on our property in the 11 years we've lived there. She was an amazing pet. We learned a LOT about mantids in a short amount of time. Before too long, she laid several ooths. Six, if I remember correctly. I took them out of her cage and glued them all to a piece of foamcore. I kept the ooths in the basement throughout the winter. Bruce, our Chinese mantis, also produced ooths. I took all the ooth "strips" and nailed them upside down to our privacy fence so that they were facing the same direction as they were laid. I've been checking on them every day and last night, I saw my first baby mantis! Later in the evening, a second. You have no idea (well, I'm sure you do!) how excited I am!
