Howdy all, it's been awhile.
In the last few years I've just been caring for my one mantis, a female G. ternatensis who I had for 4 and a half years before she recently passed three weeks ago. When I went home for break, I won a gift card to a LFS and decided to use it on a P. ciliata they had in stock as I still had the previous tank from my ternatensis set up.
Long story short two days after shes been in the tank, i spot her holding a big wad of eggs.
I've read some old threads about raising the larval stomatopods once they hatch but was wondering if its even worth a try or where else I can look into this as there doesn't seem to be terribly much on the topic.
