I went looking for local mantis ooths yesterday in my girlfriends parents back yard, they have a realy nice garden and variety of flowers and plants that attract lots of cool bugs. Well anyways last year I remember her mom saying that she had a little nymph that would sit on a branch and watch her while she would work in the garden so I had the bright idea to look around for some ooths and it only took me 10 min to find 6 of them 4 of them had already hatched out but there were still two that have not and I bet there were more if I kept looking I took one of the ooths home to try my luck at hatcin it once it does I'll return them to the garden. I was very surprised at how easy it was for me to find them but I have really good eyes lol.
