So I come home this afternoon with a new batch of crickets and find an ootheca in one of the habitats. Now I had posted that my 1 mantis passed about a month ago. BUT, after releasing many mantis nymphs in mid June around the neighborhood....I had a neighbor call and had a mantis on her car. So I went down and caught it and figured I will house the mantis over the winter like my plans were with the one that passed last month. Also there was another in the next bush, SO I caught that one also.
The first mantis had a large belly and the indications were that it was a she
And I believe the second one I caught is a she also.
Now can I leave the female with her ootheca or should I separate them? And what do I do with the ootheca?
Thanks
JB
