Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Praying mantids can be found throughout the world in tropical areas and sunnier areas in temperate zones, including North America and southern Europe. There are many species of mantids, but most are tropical, belonging to the Mantidae family.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lifespan of a mantis depends on the species; smaller ones may live 4–8 weeks, while larger species may live 4–6 months.

Detailed explanation-3: -Approximately 150–180 young mantises can emerge from each egg case, but you can expect only about five to survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Habitat Setup and Maintenance Keep the habitat temperature at 72–78° F (22–26° C). If the temperature oscillates or does not remain near optimum, it can take longer for the nymphs to emerge. Mist the habitat once a day (or as needed when the habitat becomes dry) with room-temperature spring water.
