You can read more about how that works here. Thank you in advance for your purchases. In April of this year we raised Baby Praying Mantis'. You can find out directions on how to do this here. We were lucky enough to find our Mantis Egg sack at our Local Fred Meyer (in the indoor gardening section) but you can also purchase them on Amazon. It felt like it was taking a long time, and we almost gave up, so happy we didn't. We successfully released our Mantises into the wild (of our backyard) and wondered if we would ever see them again. As we approached the end of Summer we are surprised to see a Large Mantis Clinging to our Rock Wall. We gently placed him in our Butterfly Cage, and picked up some small crickets from the local pet store. Watching the Mantis eat was so exciting! After a few days of observation we let it go. Of course there is know way of knowing if this was one that we raised, but we sure enjoyed it's visit! Can you find him in the Rose Bush? Have you raised any insects?
