At least somethings aren't inactive right now. I collected an eggsac which hatched two Fridays ago. Something between 60-70 hatched, 63 survived, and after a few more deaths, I've housed 59 of them. It sure is fun feeding all these things... Some are starting to look kind of interesting. Largest, reddest one I found. And the vials The Chiricahua Mts. are an area in western AZ. It's one of the more varied environments here, going from a desert all the way to a chilly mountaintop that gets snow.

We found a green mantis in our yard and since then she's left 2 egg sacs. How did you harvest them without destroying them?

It's probably impossible to get eggcases off of walls without ruining them though. I've tried with the ones in my yard, and the things won't budge.
