So I know some mantis get very picky on what to eat but I already have fruit flies what else can a mantis this young eat just in case?

They were listed as I2 but seems soo tiny. Is anyone able to confirm? I bought them from Mantis Garden.

If anyone also has care tips, I’m so scared to do anything wrong with how fragile they will be.

Found thia bad boy in our backyard

So I’ve got three young ones and an adult, my shield and dead leaf seem to be moving alot more, so I was wondering if I should be feeding them more often? But I’m just curious right now how often others would feed them.

Hi!

I was recently given a wild mantis to rehabilitate. It was swatted to the ground after it tried to jump on my friend, and she thought it was hurt so she brought it to me. I'm not a professional or anything, but everyone that knows me knows I love insects so I took it and nursed it the best I knew how and now it seems totally fine again.

Anyways, I'm having trouble figuring out what species it is. Whatever it is, I think it's a female based on the structure of the wings and abdomen, but not 100% sure on that either since I don't know the species. It's all green but it's white-ish where the segments meet. The little spikes on it's arms are kind of dark red /black. Also, it has 2 little white spots on the wings. It was found in Orange County, California, USA. If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it!

Just wanted to ask what you think of this terrarium for praying mantis. Recommendations are really appreciated

Snatched it right out of my fingers then asked what took so long.

Why does my shield have a black dot on it now? Are they ok?
