    How cool that you have chosen to hatch Praying Mantis nymphs!
    Keep watching your egg cases: there "should" and may still be more. This article from Iowa State University mentions that some eggs will not hatch at all. Be sure your glass jar is in the correct temperature for the best chance of all your eggs hatching.
