Outdoor Version here: Praying Mantis Egg Sac - Outdoors

Praying mantis are a general garden predator and will eat what they can catch, both good and bad bugs. Mantis stake out a territory and hunt by stealth, catching anything that is small enough to eat that comes into their territory. Mantis are cannibalistic, so as soon as they hatch they begin to disperse quickly. Mantis are well camouflaged and very secretive so it is difficult to find them among your plants. Later in the season when they have grown and sit in their territories you may be lucky enough to spot one. These insects do not bite people, damage plants, or spread disease. There is only one generation per season.
