depends on sp ,
i think in general the ootheca should be suspended in a humid sweet jar or cricket tub or similar. i hatched a chinese ooth in a sweet jar with a mesh lid & moist tissue in the base. it was at 75deg ish , & it hatched over 270 successfully

It really does depend on the species. Chinese mantids will hatch when and wherever, stick it in the fridge and I still think it'd hatch, real tough species (please don't put it in the fridge though!).

Depends on the temps. Room temp it should hatch in 4-6 weeks. If it is a chinese mantid ooth expect alot of nymphs and I mean alot!
