Hatching mantis ooths?

I caught a couple of mantises and they have both laid their egg cases and was wondering what to do with them so they hatch (assuming they're fertile).
 
Just wait (cannot say exactly how long normally 25-40 days estimate) and if the temperatures are good (stays warm) they'll hatch. Mine just laid some ooths as well.
 
if you want to raise the freshly hatched mantids, try to prepare your fruitfly cultures :) If it is a larger ootheca , even 200 llittle mantids can hatch from it , so they will need a los of fruitflyes :D
What species is it?

They are European Mantises (Mantis religiosa).
