Buy a Praying Mantis: Discover these fascinating predatory insects

Paradoxa Mantis

The nymph stage is between L3 and L7.

Information

Phyllocrania paradoxa is also called the Ghost Mantis in English. It owes this name to its unique shapes and alien-like head. The species can be recognized by a long, asymmetrically shaped protrusion on its head, which serves to make it look more like a dry leaf. Phyllocrania paradoxa is native to Madagascar and Africa.

Appearance

This species of praying mantis mimics dry leaves, so it blends in with fallen leaves in the forest areas where it lives. This allows it to unexpectedly snatch prey and remain unseen by predators such as insect-eating birds. The most common color for this species is dark brown, but sometimes green specimens can also be found. This color is determined by the environment; a more humid, greener environment often results in a green animal. P. paradoxa grows to about 5 cm long, with little difference in size between the sexes. Males are narrower with slightly longer wings than the abdomen. Females are wider with a broader prothorax and with wings that reach the abdomen.

Behavior

Phyllocrania paradoxa is a calm species of praying mantis. It is a typical sit-and-wait predator. Relying on its camouflage, it patiently waits for unsuspecting prey to pass by. As soon as it spots prey, it strikes lightning fast, and before the prey knows it, it is firmly caught between the raptorial forelegs of this predator. P. paradoxa will rarely actively chase prey, but rather wait for a suitable moment to strike. Sometimes this species of praying mantis is also a bit cautious and shy. A large pair of tweezers or a large hand in the enclosure will cause it to refuse prey. Just wait fifteen minutes and try again, and everything will be fine.

Food  

Phyllocrania paradoxa primarily eats flying insects in the wild. It would therefore be good to offer them flies instead of crickets. However, crickets are also readily eaten and are therefore also excellent food for these animals. Just make sure that there are no loose crickets in the enclosure when the praying mantis is molting. An adult P. paradoxa can handle adult crickets, but it is better to give them smaller crickets, e.g., size 6 or 7. P. paradoxa are somewhat easily intimidated by large tweezers with prey.

Environmental requirements

The ideal temperature is about 26 °C, but can vary between 20 °C and 30 °C. At night, it can be slightly cooler than during the day, but at least 18 °C. This species needs relatively high humidity, about 60 to 90%. This is achieved by spraying with water about 5 times a week. As with all species of praying mantises, this species needs an enclosure that is at least 3 times the length of the animal in height and at least 2 times the length of the animal in width. For an adult animal, this means at least 15 cm in height and 10 cm in width. A good size for a terrarium would be 20 x 20 x 30, so there is also room for artificial plants and many perches. Dry leaves blend beautifully with this species; sometimes they completely disappear into the environment.

Group housing

The special thing about this species of praying mantis is that they can often be kept together their entire lives without cannibalism. The conditions for this are that the animals always have enough to eat and that the enclosure is sufficiently large. Many people successfully keep groups of P. paradoxa in a large terrarium. The chance of cannibalism is then small, but with this type of predator, it always exists.

Giant Mantis Hierodula sp

The stage of the praying mantis is from L3 to L6

Information

Hierodula is also called Giant Mantis in English.

A Hierodula is easy to care for and grows large, making it a popular beginner species. Read more here for basic information about this special insect.

Appearance

This type of praying mantis is usually light green, but there are also yellow, beige, and brown variants. The beige animals, when adult, appear somewhat pinkish. The difference in color is mainly related to the environment in which the animal is kept. They can develop a different color within a few days.
This is one of the largest species of praying mantis successfully kept in captivity. Females grow larger than males. Males are narrower with slightly longer wings. Females are wider, with wings that reach the abdomen.

Behavior

Hierodula is a fierce type of praying mantis. It actively hunts its prey once it has spotted it. A cricket walking on the bottom of the enclosure is quickly noticed, and the chase is soon on. The prey then quickly ends up in the raptorial arms of this predator.

Food

Adult Hierodula can easily be fed adult crickets, as well as cockroaches and sub-adult locusts. They can also handle large adult locusts, but there is a small chance they might get injured by the jumping legs if they don't grasp them properly.

Environmental Requirements

The ideal temperature is about 24 °C, but room temperature is also fine. At night, it can be slightly cooler than during the day, but at least 18 °C.
This species does not have high demands for humidity, but it is important to mist daily or every other day. A guideline humidity is about 40 to 65%. Being too humid for too long is the number 1 cause of death for this species.
As with all praying mantis species, this species needs an enclosure that is at least 3 times the length of the animal in height, and at least 2 times the length of the animal in width. For an adult animal, this means at least 27 cm in height and 18 cm in width. A good size for a terrarium would be 20 x 20 x 35, so there is also room for artificial plants and many perches.

20-50 fruit flies  

Good for beginner ant colonies, young praying mantises, and various frog species due to their nutrients. A combination of fruit flies and sugar water (or honey) is a good basic food for an ant colony!

These fruit flies have been bred so they cannot fly, making them easy to feed to the colony.

The flies are delivered in a test tube and are intended for immediate feeding. They can also be frozen and offered later (for up to several weeks). You can also breed them. In that case, prepare a suitable culture medium in a container and provide paper strips for the flies to climb on. Immediately upon receipt, place the flies in the container with this culture medium.

Please note! We cannot guarantee live arrival of the fruit flies. If you need live fruit flies, you should purchase a fruit fly breeding kit.
