neat!
i have longed to see one of these, they are amazing creatures! very nice find, and you are so lucky to have eggs too. are you going to keep them until they turn into baby mantidflies?

I will keep
them until they emerge, and let them go, after reading a little on the larval stages, they are definitely not like raising caterpillars.

No apologies.
No apologies necessary. I don't know that any images of mantispid eggs existed before now! Good work:-)
