I saw an Inside Edition story the other day, about checking your Christmas tree for ooths when you bring it inside. Kinda makes me want to get a real tree this year.

Cool! A mantis ootheca hatching during the winter from a Christmas tree would be exciting to children. But, unfortunately the people who have mantis oothecas hatch in their home probably wouldn't know how to feed the babies.

Yeah. Most likely no survivors from a winter ooth hatching.
