Is it dangerous?
❌ Not dangerous to people or pets
❌ Not harmful to the tree
⚠️ Impractical indoors: the babies will scatter and won’t survive long without food
What to do if you find one
Do not panic
Clip the branch holding the egg case
Place it outside on a tree, shrub, or sheltered garden spot
This allows the mantises to hatch naturally in spring, where they’re actually helpful insects
