Two oothecas!

[Venus83]

I need help. I took a mantis in for the winter and it made an ootheca a few weeks ago. Today it has made another one. Is this normal?

 

[Synapze]

Yes. Depending on the species and health it'll probably make more. Which species?

You may need to put in garage to overwinter unless you want babies now.
