Praying Mantis Egg Cases - Free Shipping

SOLD OUT - Orders placed now will ship early next spring (2010). The fascinating Praying Mantis (Tenodera aridifolia sinensis) gets its name from its motionless raised front legs, which it uses to hold its prey. A ferocious predator, it will attack just about any insect in its path, and unfortunately this includes other beneficial insects. Shipped as egg cases, they require up to six weeks of warm temperatures to hatch. One case will yield approximately 50-200 nymphs. Use 3 egg cases for smaller areas (under 5,000 sq. ft.) and increase the amount accordingly for larger areas.
