1x Instar2 Nymph  – (Photo for illustrative purposes only, awaiting new photos!)

Key Characteristics –

• Ideal for intermediate keepers.

• Medium mantis – Adult females up to 6cm, males up to 4cm.

• Varying colours, usually greens and browns with occasional hues of grey.

• Fascinating to observe. Very aggressive towards prey. Tolerant of correct handling. Always handle cautiously and never leave a child alone with a mantis. Adult males of this species are prone to flight, adult females are not.

• Under no circumstances should these be kept communally.

• These will thrive on large fruitflies and then green/bluebottle flies, locusts moths and dubia roaches after the 4th Instar. They do not require a feeding schedule as a thinner abdomen will indicate hunger and a satiated mantis will look plump. Mantis can comfortably hunt prey up to 50% their body length.

• They will drink from the droplets of moisture in their enclosure, separate water is unnecessary.

• All mantis require an enclosure at least 3x as tall as they are long. This is to allow ample space for molting so please bear this in mind when adding décor to enclosures.
