I have a wild caught Chinese, who has over the past 2 months, laid 4 big Ooths. I understand there is a chance that all, some or none may be viable. Do Chinese usually lay this many ooths? I will give them time to diapause in the frig. My wild caught M religiosa mantids laid a 1-2 ooths and died soon thereafter. This one is super healthy and as expected an eating machine. She looks like she is "100 years" old and missing wing parts, but is super robust. Pretty cool actually :)

I've had mantids lay 10 ooths. The number of ooths is variable.
