[QUOTE="jplelito, post: 20125, member: 526"] Rick was right, someone will chime in. :-) Mantis religiosa oothecae generally need at least a month of cold temperatures (i.e. in VERY slightly moist moss in a tupperware tub in the fridge, check often for mold!), and then to be warmed up again, before they will hatch. Once you warm them up, it'll be a few weeks at room temp. before they emerge. Alternatively, keep the twig the ooth is on outside in a sheltered place, and put it back in the box come early spring so it'll emerge more or less naturally after the winter cold. Good luck! She'll probably lay more if you keep her fed. [/QUOTE]
