Aluine - Sphodromantis lineola

You can remove it or just leave it there. When I get infertile oothecae, I will just throw it in with my feeder roaches(dubias and hissers) . They absolutely love them and I think they make for a nutritious gutload.

The more you feed her, the more (infertile) ooths she will lay. Unless you breed her, IMO it might be better to feed her moderately, maybe 2 food items every other day, than to feed her as much as she wants.

She is not fed as much as she wants, she gets one (normal size) critter each two days

My mistake, sorry. She was just ready!

Sure you can keep the ooth, like the shed skin. I don't know if you have to do anything special to preserve it (it's full of infertile eggs).

Of course you can keep it! Let it sit and dry for afew days then gently take it off. Put it in the driest room and it will dry out and not mold up. Then you can do what you like with it.
