Females in my experience will look for a proper spot to lay their ooths as in my case I use sticks and stand them up and line them in a row in their critter keepers and let the mantis choose which stick to lay her ooth on and so far that works pretty good as she decides what stick to use and lays her ooth on them and well this has worked well for me with my creobroter gemmatus,nebulosa and my gambian spotted flower mantis,they all pick a stick and lay their ooth on it and the only thing that can halt their laying or cause them to stop is if their insect prey disturbs them and then they stop laying and try to lay someplace else and I suggest getting some critter keepers and filling the bottom with a few cupfuls of dirt and plant sticks straight up in the keepers in rows of three with 4-5 sticks in each row and sticks should be half the height of the keeper or close to that and this worked very very well for me and give this a try sometime.
