Experts warn of praying mantis egg sacs on Christmas trees, advising checks to prevent indoor hatching.

A social media warning advises checking real Christmas trees for brown, pinecone-like masses, which may be praying mantis egg sacs containing up to 200 eggs. These sacs can hatch due to indoor warmth, leading to hundreds of insects in homes. To avoid this, experts recommend examining trees before bringing them inside, shaking them outside, and removing any suspicious clumps by cutting and disposing of the branches.
