What a great find! I was having a hard time finding native praying mantids all the shops I usually turn to for organic pest control only had the invasive Chinese type. I purchased one egg case and the seller promptly sent me 3!! I was so excited. I added one to my greenhouse one on my strawberry tower and one in a long raised bed. Within a couple of days I saw dozens of tiny praying mantids walking around my greenhouse and the same on the strawberry tower. I am beyond thrilled with this purchase and will definitely buy again in the future.

I waited to write this review. The seller shipped the egg case quickly and I watched and waited several weeks for it to hatch. Just when I thought it might be a dud boom out popped dozens of beautiful baby mantids. Truly an amazing sight.
