I just found an egg sack stuck to one of my outdoor pillows I wouldn't have known what it was but the female praying Mantis was on the pillow staring at me when I went outside. Does it have time to hatch? It is Aug 21st and I live in Colorado where it gets cold at night. If I took it off the pillow I'm afraid I'd break it. It is tucked pretty tightly on the fabric. I'll just pray it is ok . I'd love to have a whole bunch of operating mantises around next year of longer.

Thanks for showing the air pump to sponge filter configuration, i just bought one from aqarium co-op, first time setting up an actual aquarium.

You feed those carnivorous little babies or they will eat each other. Best thing is to get them outside in a garden.😂

I used to tell my daughter that's how you know when dinner's ready...when the smoke alarm goes off.

Do you ever put the check valve after the control valve? I've seen it both ways.

Great video, but even better is the accuracy with which you responded to the comments. All info was accurate and very helpful. Definitely earned my like.

Where in maryland did they come from?

I’m so pissed! I ordered mine back in April. The instructions they came with and online state more than once to just leave the egg sacks in the paper bag, place it on a window sill, check daily and wait. I didn’t realize there needed to be humidity even though it makes complete sense 😢 given that they still haven’t hatched, I can take a wild guess that they didn’t make it. So bummed.

Great instructions! I'm hoping to hatch mine soon so they can defend against stink bugs and spotted lanternflies!

Great vid well explained just made my job 50% easier 👍👍

Hello, good sir!! Are you Colton’s cousin per chance? 🤔

So the wingless fruit flies are like jumping fruit roll ups for Mantises? 😂

Awesome video

Dont assume their gender!! They havent decided their gender yet! You genderphobe!!!!!

I have been searching for a video all night that included everything I needed in the description and this one had it I’m so grateful

Does anyone know how many i can or should keep per container. Do they have to be alone, or can i put them with more in one container if so, till when? Can they stay in the same enclosure together even after they are fully gorwn ?

Hi there. Just wanted your opinion about these mantis babies. We’ve had them for about a week and have not seen anything. Thanks for any suggestions. We are following your suggestions in the videos. Thank you!!

Ik I’m late, but what a creative way to use super glue sticks

So im sitting in my truck and ONE LONE BABY PRAYING MANTIS JUST POPS UP outta nowhere on a lightbulb . Im like if theres one there gotta be more so m looking for the nest or im just a magical mf to have had one and obly one pop up on me. Probably the 2nd thing

Will praying mantis hunt lanternfly?

nice video

I'm having trouble with flies escaping from the enclosure and i can't find where they are getting out. Do you have any tips for keeping flies in the enclosure?

Thank you brother. Ive set up many air pumps in the past, but for some reason, i justnsat there and stared at this one. Lol!!! You explained it perfectly.👍👍👍

I just had one land on me today beautiful i have it in a nice bug container with aphids

It almost looks like some of them help the others get out of their worms skin lol So cute!

Praying Mantis, a Garderners best friend. ♥ I found my first egg sack while also picking the first harvest from my blueberry bushes in my little backyard. I am so excite to see the egg sack. I knew we had them in the yard over the years but this is the first egg sack we have ever seen.

This is the best video tutorial on air pump. I was getting frustrated with the new air pump and sponge filter, especially the check valve as it didn't say which direction to place it. Thank you so much!

YA TALK 2 FAST , AND SHIT-CAN THE MUSIC!!! , HAD 2 TURN OFF VOLUME , AND YOU LOOKED 2 BE SOME GOOD INFO. , GOTTA WATCH BETTER VIDS ,...BYE

Please don’t encourage people to release hatched oothecas without checking if the species is native to their area first. The Chinese mantis is the most common species sold and is invasive in most of the US. Please try to find and order species native to your area if you plan to release them.

Mine just hatched 3 days ago but today I just saw about 10 more baby mantis crawling out of the egg sack so don't get rid of it. Their still might be some inside

My mantis just hatched today! Great info im so excited for them to grow

what age do mantis mate, and what age can you tell the sex

Yo hi it's me again and 2 of my praying mantis egg hatched and went out so that's why i need your information.Do i need to feed them now or can i just spray them with water until all the egg haches and then start feeding them?!?!

After they hatch can I feed them like dead mealworms or something?!?!

Can I feed them something else like ants, dead worm or something else I can find easier???

Very cool

Very good video 💙 thank you. I usually catch a female end of season and hatch in the spring but I didn't have any luck last year so I needed to make sure I was gluing them the right direction because I don't have to pay attention normally. Thank you for showing a up close shot

Awesome, thank you Found a couple egg pods at work and now one is starting to hatch 😁 going to get containers tomorrow and fruit flies 👍

I just had some mantis of this species just hatch how long till I separate them from each other?

I think this is a chinese mantis

THANK YOU. You made it so much easier than everyone else over complicating it 😭 I finally got it thanks to your help!

Perfect. We're currently "expecting" and this is exactly the info we needed!

Wow. Thanks buddy. Very well spoken, you got a bright future ahead of you

So helpful and clear thank u!!! ❤

Simply put them outside in the wild, they’ll figure it out!

To think, these structures survive the bitterly coldest of winters!

When do u let them outside?

Great information. Thanks

you're good at this. you remind me of ants canada before he got really big. i hope you keep at it, it took antscanada a long time but he did it.

Great video very informative on the varieties of feeder insects that work best for different ages of mantids that's gonna be helpful for my first one!
