Would you leave your mantid in a plant over night?

[QUOTE="Deacon, post: 290330, member: 8619"] So, my unmated Hierodula is 54 days old and her abdomen is huge. Every day I search for answers about when to expect her first ooth (my Budwing who is the same age has layed two!) So, today I put her in a large Xmas cactus to change her surroundings and after climbing around a bit, she settled inside it this evening. Now she[U] really[/U] doesn't want to come out (kind of like a two year-old who doesn't want to go to bed. Do any of you who let your mantids roam on plants let them stay there over night? It's in my bug room and all the vents are covered with organza so I don't think I would lose her so I'm seriously thinking of leaving her be and maybe she'll get busy. Also, have you noticed what time of day your mantids lay ooths? (My Budwing's ooths were done before I went upstairs to feed them in the morning so she layed hers very early in the day. They weren't wet, but she was still guarding them and had bits on her tail end.) Thanks for your suggestions. [/QUOTE]
