INDOOR HATCHING
  1. Place in a warm area out of direct sunlight.
  2. Wait up to 6 weeks for hatching between 70-80°F.
  3. Once hatched, introduce outside within 24 hours.
  4. Introduce directly on plants, under cover to protect from predators.
OUTDOOR HATCHING
  1. Place in crotch of plant or hang with a string approximately 1-2 feet off the ground in the canopy of a tree.
  2. Wait up to 6 weeks for hatching between 70-80°F.
  3. Once hatched, nymphs will emerge and disperse within an hour. Egg case does not change in shape or form, so you may not see hatching, and may only see the praying mantis in your yard as they grow.
