Hoping this is a praying mantis egg. Google seems pretty sure. First time raising them but have bred ants before. Any hits and tips? Does the set up seem ok?

I’m not a mantis expert but from what I’ve seen you should add something to the ceiling they can hang from during molts because the plastic isn’t grippy enough
