A mantid's ootheca is made up of tanning agents and structural proteins that is watery and tacky when first deposited, but soon hardens into a stiff foam. [2] The female Podagrion can parasitize an ootheca in either the fresh or hardened state. [3] [1] The female uses her long ovipositor to deposit an egg into the ootheca. As the eggs develop ...

Oothecae are made up of structural proteins and tanning agents that cause the protein to harden around the eggs, providing protection and stability.
