You forgot a plant that has the same color as the mantis
I have an adult carolina mantis that has stopped eating. We have been feeding him feeder crickets from the pet store but he wont eat them now. I believe he is in his final stage now as he has his wings since his last molt. Any idea what I need to do at this point? Will it help if I switch to meal worms or something besides crickets?
where do you get the matis at
how long mantis can live?
I say she needs a big one, bigger one.. a bigger tank for sure.
Sooo, sticks and dirt? Got it.
bit small wouldn't you say ?
Thanks for sharing this. We just found a Chinese mantis and are trying to make home for her!
Great video! I guess I did everything correct :D. My L4 Sphodomantis Baccettii can even climb on the glass wall of my terrarium! I guess when she gets older and heavier she won't be able to do that any longer ;-)
thank you
