My first mantid arrived today i'd say its about an inch long maybe more as the bottom folds a bit up and over, its an sphrod and as i prayed it would be its green.
he came out of his little cup into his enclosure walked a short wayto the corner and is now slightly under the bottom of his twig (not squashed under but in the shadow of it, it is not touching him) legs are sprawled out
if i was describing his position in a human it would be exhausted, but he has been in the dark, not reallly able to move and no extra heating for about 24hours plus any banging and bumping the mail delivered
he was awake enough to take 2 swipes at my finger so that to me is a good sign as he crawled out the cup i had hold of he saw my finger and took the two little swipes with his attacking legs
