The first of 5 eggs of my praying mantis has hatched. Appears to be at least 500 in this first egg. Strategically placing them throughout my plants. Yes, I know if they get caught up in a trap they might be able to chew their way out but I seriously doubt they will be able to do that until they are larger. I wanted a safer way to eradicate mealy bugs. Although I no longer have the issue, it would be nice if they can prevent them from starting in the first place. They are most likely to fly away in the wind but if only a few hang around I will be happy. I am thinking about trying to raise some inside my grow tent. Has anyone here ever tried to raise them?
