Oh my goodness they are cute!!!!! That would be so much fun!!!!! All I ever see are adults.

Awesome. I have never hatched matis before. WOW! great idea.

they are so COOL! I had one land on me at the fair a couple of years ago, the kids nearly freaked, they had never seen one before. I always thought it was too cold up here.....haven't seen many since

That is way, way cool. Now I'm going to be looking for cases to hatch for my kids to watch. Thanks for sharing!

I would definitely recommend this as a fun project with the kids! Its amazing to look at that brown lump for weeks and then find a bunch of babies. Im glad you all liked them! I was expecting an "Ewww, nasty" post!

I kept an adult on our screened in porch last season and she ate a lot of stink bugs for us

She laid an egg sack on the railing, but I don't think it's fertile. She'd been cooped up in our porch and I don't think she had acess to a mate. At at rate, it hasn't hatched, if it is fertile.

OMG too cool Jordan! Wow they hatched even though the ooth was set on the ground and not hung up? That's awesome, congrats! So cute! I finally gave away all my bugs, I don't have space/time for them in I'm going to be getting more snakes! But I had a budwing mantis, a orchid mantis, and a shield mantis. They were very cool!

My son and I caught a mantis last november or so and put her in a kritter keeper for a couple days and she layed/made an egg case , I let her go but the case was glued to the keeper so I keeped it , I never did hatch , Now im really sad it didnt cause those are some adorablely cute alien babies

oh, cuties!! I love mantis babies! And it's so fun to see them grow in the garden. What a great idea to hatch them in the jar

I bet the moth was happy to get out of there
