My two ghost mantids got it on successfully this last Sunday. I was expecting to have to wait a week or so before an ootheca was laid. After only two days, my little girl laid her first egg (yesterday/Tuesday).
Now I've got a couple questions
Now I've got a couple questions
- Since the egg was laid so quickly after mating, does that mean it's not fertile?
- Anyone know how long it may take a ghost mantis ootheca to hatch if it is fertile?
- Finally, what should of food should I find to feed a bunch of baby ghosties if they do hatch?
