@MrGhostMantis thanks for the reply!  

I did see the other post on vacations, I am not quite gone that long but I haven't seen too much discussion on this so far so I was hoping to get some input/thoughts. I am flying home for the holidays so I'll be gone for 5.5 days, is that too long?  My female has been pretty happily munching...

I am very new to all of this :)   Should you be able to see them from a view like this?

Hi again - here's a few images from my photo shoot last night before feeding her :) Side note, she's 2 for 2 on crickets even though this last one she ate hanging upside down from the wire top  https://imgur.com/a/dTQ0P86

Thanks everyone!  I think generally I like the hands off/not interfering with nature approach but in this case I feel it might be a little different.      I did take out my real camera for a few photos last night - will share those shortly in an external album (later tonight hopefully!).

Thanks admins for letting me join the forums :)   I had considered on and off about getting a mantid for a while now, but, when one literally showed up on my door I decided to run to the pet store and pick up an enclosure and some crickets too*.  I believe I have a female Stagmomantis...
