    Mantis Help?
    Well I have a short story.

    My manager asked if I'd like a cage he had (for free!) so of course I took it. Well as he was walking out to my car with me he says "Oh yeah, there's a mantis in there that looks ready to lay." So when he gets it in my car and I take a look at her and notice... She laid her egg case partially on the screen. :O

    So I'm wondering if it's possible to move it and if so what would be the best container to keep it in?

    Also any good sites/caresheets I can look into?

    Alright after some more searching I have moved the egg case to my garden (I hope they make it!) and have set mom up so she can hopefully live out the rest of her short life in comfort.

    You can kinda see her in the top left of this picture. she isn't too big but she is beautiful.

    I pretty much tapped a piece of plastic to hold in the eco earth, then used bark from a piece of firewood that has been sitting in my basement for som vertical climbing space and the fake rose adds a little color and more climbing space. I'll probably use a cap for water..

    Any suggestions?
