Dennis Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I got some baby mantises. I found a praying mantis in our backyard last fall I never thought they can survive the dry heat here in Las Vegas, kept it and feed it with crickets she produced 2 egg cases then died. I lost hope but still keep misting the container well got blessed tonight. I will take pictures when they are big enough or if they survive.

Ralph Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Good stuff. Feed them tiny flies, aphids, and springtails in a day or two, mist occasionally, and make sure there are good molting spaces. I've been going out every day to see if my local ones have hatched (not yet!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKatie329 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I was shocked when I saw my first mantis here too, but they're all over when the conditions are right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
