Praying Mantis Eggs from Tip Top

Praying mantises are territorial insects that stalk their prey. They may sit for hours waiting for prey to crawl by and strike at lightning speed without warning, killing their prey with a bite to the neck.

  • Contains two egg cases housing around 150-200 baby mantises each
  • Targets grasshoppers, crickets, and any other insect the mantis can overcome
  • Consider where you are placing the egg casing as pesticides, wetting agents and even spreader-stickers may adversely affect the mantis’ survival. Broad spectrum and systemic insecticides are toxic to praying mantises.
  • Hang somewhere out of the way and camouflaged. The elusive babies will hatch and crawl out of the casing in 6 weeks or less.



"I brought my girls here to have a homeschool lesson about botany for their science study! We had one of their employees, Evan, walk us around the center and take us into the greenhouses. I felt like he went above and beyond to help my girls with what they need to know and it was great! My kids had a great time and he knew what he was talking about. Thanks again Evan!"

"I’ve been here many times to get irrigation supplies. I really appreciate their knowledge, patience, and assistance on the subject. I also like that in their lawn irrigation center, it’s only supplies you might need for your lawn, nothing else."

"The employees at Bath are very helpful and I didn’t have any problems finding someone to answer questions on either trip. They have a large selection and plenty of parking. They offer a lot of extras like garden art and pots."
