Thank you! I need to wait for the other four to molt, hopefully will have some breeders.

Here is a pic of one of the five I raised. Been looking around on the site, but how do I tell if Female or Male? When can they start to breed. I know this must have been asked, so if you have a link please let me know. Just want to thank everyone on this site who helped me raise!

Looks good, please post a picture when they hatch!

I'm new at this and thought they were dead, I was wrong. I kept them in my house at room temp 70-80 degrees. I mist them every couple days. 1st egg hatched in 4 weeks, second egg hatched the 5th week. Hang in there, they will hatch! Let us know. I thank the members who gave me advise!

Thanks! I'll keep it.

You guy's are right about how the egg is placed. I turned my 2nd egg around and pointed the seem down and today it hatched as well!

Yeah, I can't tell if they are done. I'll just keep the egg in the jar.

It's day 5 and they are still coming out. Is there a way to tell when they are done hatching, nothing came out yesterday and almost through away the egg again.

Here is a pic of 3rd day hatching. My other Ootheca has no action after 3 weeks.

3rd day of hatching a few more came out, thought it was done and almost through away...

Got it, thank you!

Got it, thank you!

I woke up this morning and approx 30 or more came out, take a look. There are a bunch on the lid which I can't take a picture of. The first batch doesn't seem to want to eat the flies I put in? what do you think?

Only 4 came out, do they all hatch at one time?

Nice! I have an Chinese egg hatching right now as well! Congrats!

Wow, they are hatching right now! This egg wasn't dead and my other nice looking egg hasn't hatched yet.

Here is a picture of the front (I think this is the front), I re-oriented the egg on the stick. Let me know what you think? I really appreciate everyone's comments! Bud.

Thanks Rick, I'll turn them around and super glue it to the stick? Yeah, I bought Orcon (Organic Control Inc) two Chinese Mantis Eggs ($10.00). Went back next week to get more and they were gone!

Since I'm new to owning Mantis, I purchased two eggs from Whole Foods a couple weeks ago. Does this egg look dead to those of you with experience? It's a little black with small holes, but nothing oozing. Let me know what you think. Thank you! Bud.

Hi All, I'm Bud, just bought a couple Chinese Mantis eggs and found this is the best forum for information and sharing! Thank you, Bud
