Tenodera Angustipennis

Tenodera Angustipennis

1x Instar2/Instar3 Nymph

Key Characteristics –

• Ideal for beginners.

• Medium mantis – Adult females up to 6-8cm, males smaller.

• Wide range of colours and beautiful markings, very slender compared to the Tenodera Sinensis and more solid coloration.

• 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.

Environment for this species-

• Camelomantis Sp should be kept around 25-25 degrees Celsius.

• They require a humidity of around 60-80%. This can be achieved by misting the enclosure with either spring water or tap water treated with our Hydropure solution. A thermometer/hygrometer is advisable for monitoring these levels.

• 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.
