Review: Bugs - Had an amazing hatch rate with these but they hatched at sporadic times Review: This year is a dud - Last year, these were great. This year, the lady bugs were dead and over a month later, I'm still waiting for the praying mantis to hatch. I suspect they are just as dead and the lady bugs. Such a shame. ## Features - 2 Praying Mantis Egg Cases - Live Praying Mantids & 1,500 Ladybugs - Each Mantis Egg Case has approx 50 to 200 baby live praying mantis - This product comes with a unique hatching habitat cup - We Guarantee the Praying Mantis Pods to hatch! - Hatching habitat has a custom lid with screen for easy monitoring. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B019FWVUT8 | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,003,756 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #642 in Beneficial Pest Control Insects | | Brand Name | Bug Sales | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 174 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Observation Skills, Understanding of Life Cycle and Ecology | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Manufacturer | Bug Sales | | Set Name | Bug Sales Praying Mantis & Ladybug Hatching Kit | | Theme | Insects, Garden | | UPC | 657994800637 | ## Images ![Praying Mantis Egg Case with Hatching Habitat Cup - 2 Praying Mantids Egg Cases & 1,500 Live Ladybugs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NJXF04y2L.jpg) ![Praying Mantis Egg Case with Hatching Habitat Cup - 2 Praying Mantids Egg Cases & 1,500 Live Ladybugs - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lD8FT3GAL.jpg) ![Praying Mantis Egg Case with Hatching Habitat Cup - 2 Praying Mantids Egg Cases & 1,500 Live Ladybugs - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VL06aa9CL.jpg) ![Praying Mantis Egg Case with Hatching Habitat Cup - 2 Praying Mantids Egg Cases & 1,500 Live Ladybugs - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ibx21FHjL.jpg) ![Praying Mantis Egg Case with Hatching Habitat Cup - 2 Praying Mantids Egg Cases & 1,500 Live Ladybugs - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J1d741wIL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there a way I can get it without ladybugs? Just the mantises.** A: Yes, they were two separate items. **Q: what if the time of year isn't right for the praying mantises to hatch?** A: The egg cases hatch when they are warm enough, typically over 70 degrees for several days. You can keep them cool in the fridge until you are ready to add them to your garden. **Q: Why have My mantises have not hatched** A: You must keep them warm day and night, minimum 72 degrees for at least 2 weeks **Q: When do I release these worker bugs? Before or after I plant** A: You want to release them as soon as they hatch, otherwise they'll eat each other. Also, it's hard to tell which cases have hatched if you get more than one. I kept both of mine in the container after I released the first batch, and then the second hatched. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bugs *by S***A on August 8, 2025* Had an amazing hatch rate with these but they hatched at sporadic times ### ⭐ This year is a dud *by K***R on April 10, 2021* Last year, these were great.
