Hey Scott! Glad you guys are part of the forum! 

If you found Mantha as a adult then there is a good chance she had mated; therefore, the ooth is most likely fertile.

Cool! Since we are not ready for baby mantids yet, we put the ooth in a container and stored it in the fridge’s veggie crisper (based on what I’ve read from some of the posts). We hope to have some by Spring ?

Glad to have shared them. We were lucky to witness a remarkable event ?

BTW, we were curious to see if they really like honey. Mantha it!

@Sean_N Honey treats! 

Just to let you know. I once had a sick mantis. Wasnt eating and looked like it was out of energy. I got a toothpick dipped it in a small cup of fruitflys and fed it to my mantis. To me honey is mantis medicine. manties love it and im pretty sure its good for them!
