And since they don't fly, they stay right in the area where they are released. Praying Mantis are completely harmless to people, pets, and the environment. In fact, they are so much fun that sometimes people buy them for pets. Each egg case, about the size of a ping pong ball, contains about 200 eggs, which hatch when the weather becomes warm. Includes three egg cases.

Contrary to the instructions, I can definitely tell that the sack is now empty - it is now kind of flaky and has several tiny openings. The other two from the same package are still solidly "shut", and I am pretty sure they have not hatched.In regards to people not seeing any mantis, unless you are really lucky and just happened to glance at one by chance (as I did this morning), don't expect to see them. This is an ambush predator that blends into the environment very well and will stay absolutely still for hours unless you literally about to touch it. If you really want to have a visual proof, place the sack in a jar, an insect box, or another controlled environment and then let them go once you confirmed their presence. ### ⭐ Don't buy them, they do not hatch *by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2012* In early January, I bought these as the insect place I usually buy from (Everything Insects) did not have any egg cases yet. When I got them, they looked old. I went ahead and tried to hatch them as I did the other I got from another place last year. They didn't hatch. Last month Everything Insects got them in stock and sent me an email. I bought three egg cases from them and when they arrived, you could immediately tell the difference in the appearance of the egg cases from the two different places. I put the new ones in the same mantis hatching system with the old ones and the new ones are starting to hatch. Last year all three cases I got hatched. I think the egg cases I got from Amazon are just old and dead. Unfortunately they have a no return policy on them but I am still going to call Amazon so hopefully it won't be the whole $15 down the drain. If you need preying mantis egg cases then I suggest going to Everything Insect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Got what I paid for *by F***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2012* I wasn't sure what to expect here, but overall it was a positive purchase. The three egg sacks arrived in a padded envelope with a paper about the best way to set them up for hatching. After several days I got worried but now, six weeks later I saw a ton of little praying mantis crawling around. What happened since then I don't really know, but I can't blame the company if they don't survive after hatching, so I guess I got what I paid for. Next time I might hatch them in a aquarium and place them exactly where I want them after hatching, but I wouldn't have any issues with purchasing from this company again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/39398152-orcon-pm-c3-live-praying-mantis-egg-case-3-count](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/39398152-orcon-pm-c3-live-praying-mantis-egg-case-3-count) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
