Praying Mantids will usually live from spring to fall. The longest a Mantis will live is around 1 year. One of the strangest things about this insect is that the female will often eat the male and siblings will often eat each other.
Waiting in quiet ambush for hours at a time, when an insect comes wandering by they suddenly jump out and attack-always biting the neck first. At rest, they seem to be praying, holding their hands together. Each praying mantis egg case will hatch about 100-200 tiny mantises, all at once.In order to hatch they'll need several weeks of warm weather, so they can sense that summer (and pest insects for food) has arrived.ater on, they'll continue advancing up to larger and larger prey. By summer's end, praying mantis can reach several inches in length. In the fall, females produce more eggs, deposited in a frothy secretion that hardens to protect the eggs from predators and severe winter climates.
