[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 294096, member: 8168"] Sounds like a good idea to transfer them to a larger habitat when they are in that state. I've done it a few times myself with recently captured specimens too to make the experience less stressful for them. Indeed ooths on the plastic/fiberglass mesh can be removed with some effort but always leave behind a visible "stain". I've found even after cleaning it can permently discolor it, I guess it is something in the ooth material as it hardens. You can clean them but I haven't found it necessary; although, rinsing them under hot water wouldn't hurt. The only thing to avoid is the scented varieties offered at some stores as the chemicals would harm your mantid. [/QUOTE]
