I’ve got a Chinese mantis, tenodera sinensis. She’s quite the bug slayer!
I am also a first time mantis mom and I have an adult male named Mr. Bug Man (he’s 8 months old now)!!! How old is your girl?

Not sure if you’d like suggestions/tips, here’s one anyways from one first time mantis momma to another! One thing I learnt about T Sinensis is keep an eye out for a floppy or droopy abdomen. They sometimes get a folded/droopy abdomen from hanging upside down too long & often. I’m blanking on the actual name but I think there’s some posts about it if you search “droopy butt/abdomen”, lol! I had to “revoke upside down privileges” for a few days when Mr. Bug Man was younger.
