I ordered these egg cases to put a little security surveillance on a weeping cherry tree that was almost destroyed by Japanese beetles last year. I went on a trip for 2 weeks, and when I got back I had tiny little praying mantids all over the tree. Can't wait to see what happens when those beetles show up this year!

I purchased the praying mantis egg cases for my daughter. We put them into our mantis habitat and patiently waited for the babies to "hatch". Apparently I was sent duds because the babies never came. What a disappointment for my daughter. When I contacted the seller, the customer service was horrible and they would not acknowledge my problem. Do not order from this seller!!!!!! There are many other places to order praying mantis egg cases.
