Thats the creepy bit about having a bunch of carnivorous insects about. They do a good job of eating bugs that would otherwise attack your plants, but there is something just off-putting about knowingly increasing the population of a species, in an area where you regularly work, that would (if they though it possible) attempt to kill and eat YOU.

Power in numbers, as it were.
Even creepier looking into you tent one morning and suddenly being able to see why your plants were struggling, just because they finally got big enough to see. I took a magnifying glass to this one aphid and he was sitting there with this straw stuck into the leaf’s stem taking a long drink and all the while looking back at me shooting me the bird. Nasty looking critters.

No more sativas for me tonight.
 
Hell, I'd buy them just to watch them devour other bugs. I'm a little weird that way.
Ok then you are weird enough for this. Put the egg sack into a terrarium with no food sources. When they hatch they will devour each other. Darn carnivores!
 
That's awesome!

I don't have bug problems with hydro but having a minion army of praying mantis would be the bomb!

Try to get a male to mate without the female killing him first. Lots of fun! :crying:

Insects didn't evolve into weak creatures. Scary looking little bastards, that lot.

When I was a wee kid, I captured some fireflies and put them in a jar. I put the jar on the little table next to my bed and while comfortably under the covers, I watched them flashing away. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

The next morning, I peeked at the jar and noticed one firefly literally eating the head off of another one. I was utterly horrified, and have had a somewhat irrational fear of insects ever since.

I figure if the male mantis isn't up to the task, I can get the job done way before the little bitch can chew through my fat neck.

Gotta do what ya gotta do, ya know.
