My boss asked me the other day where he could get some praying mantis eggs for his garden. I told him he could look on Ebay cos that's where I always got mine, since they don't live long enough to mate up here but it might be too early in the year. Sure enough there's a big list of egg cases already.

I have a breeding population here. All I have to do is pick one case if I ever want them.

They make egg cases in anything evergreen here; boxwood, bamboo, etc. They make great photo subjects too.

If I knew the egg cases were good and not already hatched from previous yrs, I could probably spare a couple.
