Episode notes
In the tropics, mantises exhibit diverse hatching behaviors, unlike the simultaneous hatching commonly seen elsewhere. Some cases involve a staggered hatching process to allow for dispersion or siblings that are tolerant of each other and do not cannibalize. This variation is intriguing but understudied due to the prevailing assumption that mantises engage in cannibalistic behavior. When caring for hatchlings, it is crucial to observe their emergence and facilitate their transition into separate territories. Upon hatching, the nymphs spin silk threads, dangle down, and undergo their first molt midair, transforming into recognizable mantises.
