We used to bring those inside all the time as kids. We had a couple bay windows with indoor plants. It was so cool watching them hatch and then eat each other.
The first day they hatch, there are hundreds of tiny ones less than a quarter inch long. The next day there are maybe ten or twenty, about a half inch long.
The third or fourth day, only one or two big ones.
If you haven’t ever done this, you are depriving yourself and your children of an amazing lesson from nature.
Why?
Let them out and spread them around to take care of the real pests in your garden.
