[QUOTE="Mystymantis, post: 347263, member: 9416"] Carolina mantises need overwintering time otherwise they might not hatch properly. Generally the ootheca should be in the cold for at least 2 months or so. They can hatch without overwintering but will be far fewer mantises and they may be sickly. Best to overwinter them in the fridge for a few months and take them out in the early Spring, that is in March. Or you can overwinter them outside in natural habitat such as in a garden. Of course if the ooth is outside it is prone to parasites and hungry animals like squirrels that for some reason think they are tasty. Or if the ooth was already overwintered it should be fine to hatch in a month or so. [/QUOTE]
