I don’t know where they came from, but I’m
Glad. These insects are welcomed in my indoor grow.
Thats cool man
That’s so cool
Free Pest Control lol… watch em grow up then the females eat the males…
To the OP, nice, they are cool kritters, what I really like about them is that unlike most bugs they will actually watch you and pay attention to you, it’s kind of creepy…
I have raised, hatched and had mantis as pets for years, my yard is full of them, the kids always find a few females later in the season and keep them as pets to get egg sacks to seed the yard for next year…
From experience when hatched indoors in a confined space where they can’t get away from each other and hide they will instantly go cannibalistic and continue being cannibalistic until only one is left standing… This eat all your kin happens long before they even get to mating size…
Great little assassins to have around 
Beware! I was told that if you have bugs in your grow the mantis will DIG into the buds to get them! Just what I’ve heard!
I’m ok with that. It sounds like a good thing if they’re going in deep to get those bastards.
I have a mantiss egg pod in my room waiting for it to hatch.
