i caught a mantis not knowing she was a female. any how, she laid a nice big ootheca on the screen lid of her enclosure and i was wondering:
1: will it harm the ootheca whin i move the lid to replace her food items?
2: how long will it take for them to hatch?:laid on 9.25
3: how many can i expect? not knowing if ootheca size has anything to do with it
4:should i house them separately from each other/mom?
any info or responses would be greatly appreciated since i have no clue what to do here
