Spiny flower mantis

orchid mantis

Indian flower mantis

Hierodula majuscula

Giant shield mantis

Because I travel a lot & will be going on vacation

As long as they have food they should be fine.

Cool

good to know

I will only take the ones with me if close to the molting time

Orchid would be the only one I would worry about. But I'm pretty inexperienced so I'm just relaying knowledge

I'm leaving on vacation for a week right away and am leaving ghost nymphs and one Chinese adult. I'm a bit nervous about it but my Chinese has survived just under a week before so I hope it goes well. I don't really have anyone I can ask to come deal with live bugs, but I am having a friend come mist them a couple times at least. Good luck to your mantids while you're away!
