So we pick up 4 ooths from the flower store. The container doesnt list the species but the website of the product only lists chinese mantids so I am assumeing these are Chinese. We originally had planned to put them all outside but have decided to keep one inside to see how everything plays out.
From reading some threads I am getting that I need a med size container for the ooth to hatch in. From there I should seperate them into smaller "cup size" containers, but I am unsure of when and of how many to put per container.
After they hatch and are what I belive L1 nymphs they should be lightly misted once a day for 2-3 day , then fed fruit flies? As they grow the food size can be increased? They will molt about every 2 weeks.
If what I have laid out is missing something please point it out and I apologize if I missed something in the search section.
