Trichorhina tomentosa - Dwarf Whites

Mantis species originally from Africa that camouflages as a dead leaf. Can come in various colors of dried leaves - red, brown, tan, green, gray, or black. It seldom chases after its prey and typically waits for it to approach. It feeds on flying insects appropriate for its size (fruit flies when young and eventually moving on to house flies and bottle flies as it grows). It may also take the occasional waxworm, wax moth, mealworm, or roach. Should be kept at temperatures between 65 and 85 F and misted daily to allow it to drink. Enclosure width should be 2 times the mantis' length and height should be 3 times the mantis' length. Cross ventilation is important and humidity should be moderate, ~60% RH. Captive-bred for pet and educational purposes only - not to be released in the wild. Many keepers have kept this species communally if enclosure is large enough and inhabitants are kept well-fed but being predatory insects, there is always some risk of cannibalism. Nymphs are sold unsexed unless otherwise specified.

Small flower mantis originally from Africa. Early instar nymphs are black and adults are usually white with orange/green stripes, an eyespot on their forewings, and yellow hindwings. Like the name suggests, this mantis has spiny structures on its abdomen. It usually waits for prey to approach but some will actively hunt their prey when detecting movement. Diet should be flying insects appropriate for its size (fruit flies when young and eventually moving on to house flies and bottle flies as it grows) but will also take the occasional waxworm, wax moth, mealworm, or roach. This species should be kept at daytime temperatures between 75 and 85 F and misted every other day to allow it to drink. Enclosure width should be 2 times the mantis' length and height should be 3 times the mantis' length. Cross ventilation is important and humidity should be moderate, ~60% RH. Not a communal species - only one should be housed per enclosure. These are captive-bred for pet or educational purposes only - not to be released in the wild.

Spiny Flower Mantis - Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii

Flower mantis from SE Asia which is named because of its resemblance to the petals of the orchid flower. Early instar nymphs are black and red while adults are primarily white and a soft pink color. Some can even be yellow, green, or even a deep pink. Males are smaller in size (~1 inch at adult) and take fewer molts to reach adulthood while females reach ~3 inches in size. This flower-mimic species usually waits for prey to approach and should be fed flying insects appropriate for its size (fruit flies when young and eventually moving on to house flies and bottle flies as it grows). Late instar females and adult females will also take the occasional waxworm, wax moth, mealworm, or roach. This species can be kept from 75-90 F during the day with warmer temperatures speeding growth and cooler temperatures slowing their growth. They should be misted daily to allow them to drink and also maintain humidity. Humidity should be high, ideally ~80% but no lower than 60%. Enclosure width should be 2 times the mantis' length and height should be 3 times the mantis' length. Not a communal species - only one should be housed per enclosure. These are captive-bred for pet purposes only - not to be released in the wild. Nymphs are sold unsexed unless otherwise specified.

Jeweled Flower Mantis - Creobroter gemmatus

The Cryptic mantis is an African species which looks like a smaller version of the Wandering Violin Mantis (Gongylus gongylodes). Early instar nymphs are tan with a long thin prothorax and a projection on the top of their head. At adulthood, they develop blueish-green wings which look like leaves growing from their branch-like body. Diet should be flying insects appropriate for its size (fruit flies when young and eventually moving on to house flies and bottle flies as it grows) but may take the occasional waxworm, wax moth, mealworm, or roach at adulthood. This species should be kept at daytime temperatures between 75 and 85 F and misted every other day to allow it to drink. Enclosure width should be 2 times the mantis' length and height should be 3 times the mantis' length. Cross ventilation is important and humidity should be moderate, ~60% RH. Many keepers have had success keeping them communally although there is always some risk of cannibalism as they are predatory insects. These are captive-bred for pet or educational purposes only - not to be released in the wild. Nymphs are sold unsexed unless otherwise specified.

Presub/subadult Female

Presub/subadult Male

Stagmatoptera supplicaria is a South American species that goes by several common names including "Avocado mantis" and Amazonian Spot Wing Mantis. Early instar nymphs are a bronze color but at adulthood, develop bright green wings with a large brown eyespot. The wing coloration and pattern can even be seen at presub and subadult stages while the wingbuds are developing. This is a large species and adults can reach ~4" in length. Diet should be flying insects appropriate for its size (fruit flies when young and eventually moving on to house flies and bottle flies as it grows) but will take the occasional waxworm, wax moth, mealworm, or roach at adulthood. This species should be kept at daytime temperatures between 75 and 85 F and misted every other day to allow it to drink, daily when a young nymph. Enclosure width should be 2 times the mantis' length and height should be 3 times the mantis' length. Cross ventilation is important and humidity should be moderate, ~60-70% RH. These are captive-bred for pet or educational purposes only - not to be released in the wild. Nymphs are sold unsexed unless otherwise specified.

Cobra Mantis - Choeradodis rhomboidea

Female Nymph (i4+)

Male Nymph (i4+)

The Wandering Violin Mantis (Gongylus gongylodes) is a large Empusid mantis species from SE Asia. They have a long narrow prothorax and a projection on their head. They also cannot climb smooth enclosures and must have mesh or textured surroundings to climb upon. I personally prefer using fully meshed enclosures for this species (I sell these mesh cubes: https://kiwistix.com/store/collapsible-net-mesh-cube-insect-cage ) Diet should be flying insects appropriate for its size (fruit flies when young and eventually moving on to house flies and bottle flies as it grows). This species should be kept at daytime temperatures between 80 and 95 F and misted every other day to allow it to drink. Enclosure width should be 2 times the mantis' length and height should be 3 times the mantis' length. Cross ventilation is important and humidity should be low, <50% RH. This species can be kept communally although there is always some risk of cannibalism as they are predatory insects. These are captive-bred for pet or educational purposes only - not to be released in the wild. Nymphs are sold unsexed unless otherwise specified.

<p>The Wandering Violin Mantis (<em>Gongylus gongylodes</em>) is a large Empusid mantis species from SE Asia.  They have a long narrow prothorax and a projection on their head.  They also cannot climb smooth enclosures and must have mesh or textured surroundings to climb upon.  I personally prefer using fully meshed enclosures for this species (I sell these mesh cubes: https://kiwistix.com/store/collapsible-net-mesh-cube-insect-cage )</p>
<p>Diet should be flying insects appropriate for its size (fruit flies when young and eventually moving on to house flies and bottle flies as it grows).  This species should be kept at daytime temperatures between 80 and 95 F and misted every other day to allow it to drink.  Enclosure width should be 2 times the mantis' length and height should be 3 times the mantis' length.  Cross ventilation is important and humidity should be low, &lt;50% RH.</p>

Wandering Violin Mantis - Gongylus gongylodes

The cat eye mantis, Heterochaeta orientalis, also known as the African Giant Stick Mantis or just 'chaeta for short, is a large species of mantis from Africa which is named after its resemblance to a twig. It has upward-elongated eyes which resemble cat-eye glasses and a long slender body. Its stick-like appearance helps it avoid predation as well as detection by their prey. Adults grow to be large and reach nearly 6 inches in length. Diet should be flying insects appropriate for its size (fruit flies when young and eventually moving on to house flies and bottle flies as it grows). This species should be kept at daytime temperatures between 70 and 85 F and misted every other day to allow it to drink. Enclosure width should be 2 times the mantis' length and height should be 3 times the mantis' length. Sticks should be provided for climbing. Cross ventilation is important and humidity should be moderate, 40-60% RH. Level of aggressiveness is low and can be kept communally, given adequate space and food. These are captive-bred for pet purposes only - not to be released in the wild. Nymphs are sold unsexed unless otherwise specified. As of 12/2/22: Currently available are Mewto's nymphs!
