Praying Mantis Quick Guide.

Due to the many variables involved in raising a praying mantis, Insect Lore does not guarantee that your baby praying mantis will grow to adulthood.

How to Grow

Praying Mantis oothecae hatch between 3 and 12 weeks.
Cold temperatures will keep the egg case dormant, if you live in a cool climate, you can keep the egg case in a cool location like a garage to slow their emergence.
Baby Praying Mantises should be released in daytime, outdoor temperatures above 50 degrees.
Due to import/export restrictions, we are unable to ship live insects to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, APO, FPO, and DPO addresses.
