insectlore.com Praying Mantis kit equals lots of waiting anticipation, and even disappointment when they finally hatch....
"insectlore.com We have attempted to raise the praying mantis egg sac with this company several times, and each time, all praying mantis hatchlings do die within 24 hours. We made sure to have plenty of live food (flightless flies) available to them within an hour of hatching, we always let go majority of hatchlings, and try to keep between 5 and 10 for raising. However, even with 72 degree and 45-55% humidity environments, these praying mantis cannot survive outside the egg sack longer than 24-48 hours. As a repeat customer of Insectlore.com, we had asked if we could just get a discount on another try and order of the Praying mantis egg under the circumstances, and they will not honor anything, and just blame it on the variables within the household that you are keeping the praying mantis cage in. So after months of waiting, and finally hatching, and to have all die immediately regarldess of care, I would not recommend this to any family, especially if children are excited to see what comes out of the egg. They wait so long for the eventual hatching, just to be disappointed with having no insects to look at 24 hours later. I recommend picking up the super cheap praying mantis online, but not releasing them, as they can invasive, but to keep as pets would be fine for science related learning and experience with the kids."
