Would love to try to hatch some eggs. What do you look for? I was told I had a praying manthis pod (whatever they are called). I was told to put it in a milk jug with lots os holes, cover and keep cool. Low and behold when it hatched I was scared and yet surprised.From the side it looked like I had a huge spider, but It was a "Lunar Moth" I was told. I cut the jug opene and left it outside on the deck in a protected area. A few days later I had this beautiful moth. I will see if I can find a picture to attatch. Could someone attach a pciture of the egg sack so I know what to look for and where and when should I start looking? Do they eat only aphids and mosquitos? Please hlep me.
