hi bro,
can you give me the mantis, I like to add this to my paludarium.
Recently, 2 rare visitors came to my home. a ladybird and a mantis. i think these 2 insects are quite rare in urban areas, and i was surprised that they came to my house, which is on the 19th floor. The ladybird has left already (i think), but the mantis is staying. in fact, i have had the mantis for a few months, it is living among my plants.
The ladybird:

The mantis:
Thanks for viewing

so sad....
Hi bro,
That's ok, I'm really afraid if i keep this mantis in my palu or else this fella will end up the meal of my 2 White Tree frogs!!!!
lucas that mantis still juvenile. Soon you'll see it disappear when food for it is more scarce.
Kept them before, really nice to keep pets for a while. Should look at them having a meal .

Hi Bro,
If you can try to feed meal worms, the thin type. I sure this mantis will forever be stay at your balcony for the rest of its life!
I used to keep many kinds of mantis when i were younger in my old hometown, my gardener fed them crickets, grasshoppers and meal worms. They do recognize its master if feed them regularly and of course they can be easily tame like the Bangkok temple's tigers!
Try it if you like..
nice mantis , i keep before a common green mantis which i found in my house , quite big , like 5 inch long . one day i take it out for a walk and it fly away , while flying , one crow fly pass and eat it , my heart sink LOL , it was around 5years ago
Hi guys,
dont worry the mantis is still here. i have been feeding it regularly with spiders, grasshoppers, butterflies etc, all caught from a grass field near my house.
Sometimes when i see the way it eats, it is a bit . there was once it ripped out the head of this flying ant, and it ate the whole head, whilst the body was still struggling in its claws. then it proceeded to suck out the body juices, and left quite a mess, of the carcass and some legs.
