This reminds me of when I was a kid on the farm. I found a bunch of these nests and brought them into our enclosed porch. In afew days there was about a million baby praying mantis crawling all over the place. My Mom almost went nuts trying to gather them all up and put them outside.

Depends on how fast they disperse. If they don't "get out of dodge" quick enough they get eaten by their brothers and sisters

As far as survival , shortly after they hatched you can see a jumping spider on the way up for a meal
