harder to manage

what is harder to manage a ooth or a nymph?

I seem to have the worst luck with ooths but nymphs seem easier to manage and care for!

Is a Nymph something like a ooth?

A cluster of eggs?

Thought that a Nymph was a young mantis :huh:

Is Ooth the same thing as a Ootheca?

You're pretty close. An ooth, short for ootheca, is a cluster of eggs wrapped up in protein insulation. The eggs hatch as nymphs, and that's the name given to all baby (immature) mantids until they undergo their last molt and become adults, ready to fertilize and lay more ooths!

Well, massaman, sometimes the best way to obtain an answer is by simply experiencing something for yourself. Try raising an ooth and a nymph for a month, and see for yourself which is harder to raise. With a little experience under your belt, maybe you can start contributing to topics instead of starting them Report back with your findings mate
