Instructions

    • 1

      Rinse your container with clean warm water and let the hot water sit in the container for one hour. After the hour, let your container dry indoors.

    • 2

      Place your local foliage in the container in an assortment that gives a large amount of surface area for you to place your eggs.

    • 3

      Spray the foliage thoroughly with fresh water from the spray bottle until you have water droplets resting on the foliage.

    • 4

      Drill six holes into your container's top to provide adequate oxygen and air circulation. By doing this, you will provide airflow to allow for a variety of "fresh" air molecules to help supplement the moist retention for the egg sack.

      Transport your insect egg sacks and gently place what they are attached to onto the leaves. Attach the top of the container and monitor your egg sack until the insects begin to hatch.
