Christmas tree shoppers warned to check for praying mantis egg cases that may hatch indoors.
As Christmas approaches, many are being warned to inspect natural Christmas trees for praying mantis egg cases—brown, walnut-sized clusters resembling pine cones that can contain 100 to 200 eggs.
Often hidden on branches, these egg sacs may go unnoticed until the tree is brought indoors, where warm temperatures can trigger hatching, releasing small mantises.
While harmless to humans and pets, their sudden appearance may surprise homeowners.
The alert, amplified by a viral TikTok video, urges checking trees thoroughly before decorating and removing any suspicious lumps to avoid indoor hatching.
