Features:

• Praying mantis are sent as an egg case.
• Egg cases will not hatch until about mid June when the weather is hot enough and the daylight hours are longer.
• All will hatch within about 1 hour – they will quickly disperse as they are very cannibalistic and the egg case remains unchanged.
• Each mantis will set up its own territory where it will live for the summer. They are very difficult to find in the garden because they are well camouflaged.
• Late in the summer they will fly to find a mate & this is often when they are seen. As the weather cools, they will sit out in the sun to warm themselves.
