1. Sustainably & Ethically Sourced Ootheca Our T Sinensis mantis ootheca (egg cases) are carefully and ethically harvested from fields across the USA. This meticulous sourcing process guarantees that each ootheca is fresh and fully viable, ready to bring forth a new generation of these fascinating insects. Remarkably, these mantis species have been an integral part of the local ecosystem for over 125 years, dating back to 1896. They are classified as “Naturalized,” making them an eco-friendly and sustainable addition to your garden or educational projects, allowing you to connect with nature in a responsible way. 2. Effortless Indoor & Outdoor Hatching Hatching T Sinensis mantis ootheca eggs is a breeze, whether you choose to do it indoors or outdoors. For indoor hatching, simply place the ootheca in a warm spot with a temperature range of 75 - 85°F, and you can expect the nymphs to emerge in just 2 - 6 weeks. If the temperature is around 70°F, the hatching process may take a bit longer, ranging from 2 - 12 weeks. When opting for outdoor hatching, position the ootheca in the crotch of a plant or hang it with a string approximately 1 - 2 feet off the ground within the tree canopy. This helps protect the eggs from animals and birds. These ootheca are perfect for a variety of settings, including classrooms, greenhouses, gardens, and orchards, offering flexibility and convenience for all users. 3.
