RE: preying mantis

I know from experience they are heat activated. What I want to know is how you get them to stay in your garden. If yours did not hatch, it was either old, or had been damaged.

Hey all,

I hope you are all having prosperous results!

I saw preying mantids in one of the notes this weekend. (Mantids or mantis’)

I bought a womb deal that was suppose to hatch 250 or so mantis’.

It never hatched one.

Does anyone know how to properly hatch one?

There were no directions and the internet seemed useless for a change.

Thanks all!

Mark
