A CAPTURED ADULT FEMALE Mantis religiosa (Insecta: Mantodea) LAID FOUR OOTHECAS UNDER LABORATORY ..

Because of its many impressive characteristics, the Mantodea (Insecta) (Burmeister, 1838) is a well-studied species. However, according to the author's information, the number of oothecas laid by a female Mantis religiosa (Linnaeus, 1758) has yet to be published. Between September and October 2019, a captured female Mantis religiosa was reared in the laboratory of Hacettepe University's Faculty of Biology's Department of Forensic Entomology in Ankara, Turkey. During her time in captivity, this female has developed four oothecas. When offspring emerge from these oothecas, they can be artificially selected to be reared as biological control agents.
