[Costco] Praying Mantis Natural Insect Control Egg Case ($22.99)

Product Details
An excellent general predator! Praying mantis consumes aphids, beetles, flies, mosquitos, moths, caterpillars and any insect they can catch. Praying mantis, an insect with an innate killer attitude, is a great garden predator. One egg case hatches many tiny babies that quickly disperse throughout your garden. Your egg case contains approximately 40 to 400 eggs.

Mating occurs again in early fall and more egg cases will be laid that will hatch the following summer. The egg case is laid as a foam that hardens into a spongy almost indestructible mass, usually laid attached to a shrub, weed, grass, etc., a few feet off the ground. The egg mass survives freezing, thawing, rain and all the elements to hatch in the early summer to start the cycle again.

• Hatching will occur by June
• Egg case contains 40 to 400 young mantis
• Most often green but sometimes brown
• Very territorial, will create a home where hatched
