Water

[Curiosity]

I should probably have asked this much earlier, but . . . is it possible to get mantis eggs too moist, short of submerging them and assuming mold isn't growing on them?

You can get them to wet. Make sure you give good ventilation.

If they get too wet the eggs will mold.

But there is no mold. I guess  I mean. . . is it unsafe to spray the eggs directly? or should the water never actually touch them? I've been spraying them consistently without gaps longer than 2-3 days for months and no mold has grown.

You can lightly mist them, don’t spray directly though...
