Chinese Praying Mantis (Tenodera sinensis)
This species of mantis is docile and low-maintenance, reaching up to 4 inches in length. It features a slim build, a distinct triangular head, and a striking appearance with brown tones and vibrant green highlights. Note that adults can fly, so ensure a secure habitat for them.
Feeding:
Juvenile mantises currently feed on flightless fruit flies, available at ReptileSupply.com. As they mature, introduce bigger prey like dubia roaches, crickets, or black soldier flies. Provide water by lightly misting the enclosure walls a few times weekly. They will also obtain hydration from their food.
