Just something to note if you think you have eggs in there you're going to want to remove that container and set it up somewhere else. Crickets eat there young.

Exactly what Rick said. Most pet stores simple mass produce crickets with little care as to where they're going. The workers there don't take enough care of the environment that the crickets live in. From there mold begins to grow in the cricket enclosure and the crickets will soon get that in...

I fed her fairly well. Not extremely well but fairly well. When I first got her she got 11 small crickets and a spider. After that she'd have a large cricket or a spider every day, though I missed one day unfortunately. Also trying to raise some crickets on my own right now, see how it turns out.

No pictures sorry I can't seem to find the battery charger for my camera, which poses a problem. But it's a light greenish color all around, no dark colors as far as I can tell.

Yes she was an adult when I found her. Thing is there's not that many praying mantis' around here, but I hope to help the population a bit, of course with this native species I have no plans of buying any and releasing them here. Yeah I did some research last night and found out there's no way...

Hey i'm looking for a male chinese mantid. Anyone have any for sale, please pm me. He will be kept in his own caterpillar castle with a fresh meal everyday :) Forgot to add I live in NJ, USA.

lol my fault i may have taken that the wrong way then, sorry rick.

I wasn't trying to pet her, give her a bath, or snuggle with her. I realize she's an insect, I've never owned a cat or dog that size that fed off of spiders, crickets and other insects. Nor was I giving her kibbles and bits for food :) I have read that they can get comfortable around humans...

So I let my mantis out, so I could clean her enclosure and she just made a mad dash for it. She only has three good legs, one came broken poor girl, so she kinda like hopped really fast away from me. I stopped her and after a moment she settled down and just stood there then stretched out her...

Yeah chinese sorry. I'm new to this praying mantis thing. Going to go with the glue idea now. Thanks!
