5 cm orchid ooth is proportional to orchid mantis isnt it!? certainly not proportional to odonto for sure

If its 5 cm long then it would be very tall and stubby for an orchid ooth, ffs where MJ with his ant mantid pics?!

Ants -> mantis (eggs)

mantis -> ants

This vicous cycle works like this

Wait... so did it hatch? The nymphs will tell a lot more than the ootheca.

The ooth in your pic looks kinda like an antmantis ooth (Odontomantis planiceps)

I just hope you did not mistaken the nymphs for ants

Do you have any pics of the ants that attacked your ooth?

They were most probably nymphs, they really look like tiny ants when they are nymphs.

You may have scared away your own nymphs. The ooth looks very much like my ant mantid ooth. I also have three ant mantid nymphs which were raised from L1 they look exactly like ants. Heres a pic.
