Found wild nest (S. Carolina?) Looks thrashed found parasite

[CosbyArt]

Sweet! Thank you for the information and the photo. I just checked the container and 17 have hatched so far. Now I'll have all the local flavors of mantis species. I've got L5 T. Sinensis and any day the S Carolina ooth is going to hatch. And now M. Religiosa nymphs. What have I gotten myself into...?    

Your welcome, looks like you now have the big three native species. Sounds like you have fallen in the mantid collector mentality - but don't worry it affects us all and leads to many more habitats. There was a "support group" in a thread for it, but it seemed to further the problem than offer any help.

I thought I'd give you guys an update on the hatch. Here is a shot of Mr Hungry.
