Anyone use Costco's natural garden insect solution

At our Costco online you can order Praying Mantis egg balls for cheap. They are endlessly entertaining. They hatch out about 100 mini mantises and they go nuts in the garden eating every insect pest they can find. Like kids in a candy store - until winter. Cam.

My Mom and I started ordering Praying Mantis and raising them 40 years ago. While they are beneficial I think some of the claims by those selling them are a bit stretched. But they are extremely interesting and we have kept them alive into January inside the house. They are the only insect that can turn its neck like a human. And of course, they are infamously known for the female eating the male after mating.
Here are some pictures of Sarah. She was a family favorite.

Cool. Most families have a dog that they take pictures of to show the neighbors, you guys have an insect! WITH A CUTESY NAME to boot! Thats awesome! Reminds me of this biker dude I grew up near. He looked like a murderer. Big dude, tattoos, and of all things he had a pet duck. The duck would walk with him when he went for a walk in the neighborhood.
