I got a Praying Mants ootheca from the Indoor Sun Shoppe yesterday. It looks like a pork rind rolled up into a cocoon.

Please ignore the Janet Leigh picture to the left. Don’t worry, Bertie came out of the shower alive!

I think these guys are going to hatch in 2 weeks. You can see on the right that I put it close to the ceramic heater. This is supposed to simulate summer, which will make the little carnivores hatch. Yes I know what you are thinking, and yes, I will serve these guys to Bertie. Sorry Zorak!
