The Praying Mantis are not included, you will be provided the information on how to order those with this kit.
You may find them available at your local gardening center or pet store. Praying Mantis egg cases are generally available from January through April (or while supplies last) AVAILABLE TO SHIP WITHIN THE USA ONLY. At a room temperature of 67 - 78 degrees, Praying Mantis hatch in 3 to 6 weeks. It is recommended that owners release most or all the nymph mantises into the outdoors upon hatching, (one or two may be keep separately to raise as pets.) Mantids are hunting insects and upon hatching will likely be frightened by other mantids or eat them as prey. They have astounding appetites. If you decide to keep your mantids as pets, you will need to feed them very small insects or aphids frequently.
As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 8 years of age.

Product review of Green Earth Praying Mantis Kit

I was deceived! I thought that this "kit" also included the live mantids. You should make it clear that this is ONLY the house and to order the insects somewhere else.

Its a project in process ...

The housing is excellant for the purpose of keeping the little mantis save and protected once they hatch. The kit is complete with everything you need and gives you just enough access to maintain them and at the same time display them to your kids. I purchased the mantis eggs on the internet and received them in a small plastic container which houses three eggs,each egg can hatch upto 200 little mantis. So far one of them has hatch and i have been feeding them every other day with small crickets dead or alive is fine. The kit came with full instructions and diagrams of how to raise and maintain the mantis, so everything is there for you to have a succesful hatch of the eggs. My son is just watching right now while i do all the work but in know time will be able to actually carry them and feed them once they are a little bigger, he is 2 1/2 .

Not what I expected

Have not placed order for mantis egg yet. But, a bit concerned with the complexity of this project. I wish the instructions would have been posted with the kit description. I feel it's a bit deceiving to sell a product, but not tell the buyer what all is involved in hatching and maturing a praying mantis.
Give people the necessary information to make an informed decision on whether this is something they can undertake! Also, the form to order the mantis egg was not in the box, so I'm really not sure what to do next!
