@izbiggs it would actually be Creobroter gemmatus

@izbiggs Ty so much with this reply! It has really helped me on deciding! 

So I was going to get a Indian flower mantis, but then read that ghosts will be on sale in about a week (mantidkingdom). I know its the type of thing where I choose what I want to get, but I was wondering what you're opinions are, would you get Indian flower mantis or Ghost mantis? Also if I do...

I am very happy! I am getting a Indian flower mantis (Creoboter gemmatus) and a African mantis (viridis). They will both be around the l3 stage. Is there any specific care that is important for these mantids?

@Ocelotbren thanos for the reply! I have been feeding the fruit flys and the occasional cricket. I'm soon to purchase house flys! 

Whoop whoop!

What food should I start feeding my L5 chinese mantis?

Yep @Sarah K so should I talk out the mantis in like 2 days then hot glue mesh?

I have a chinese mantis @Sarah K and i can hot glue mesh to the top.  and its hard right now to hot glue the mesh because i just introduced the mantis to this enclosure yesterday so i don't want to stress her out.

So I have a L4 mantis in a 2 gallon fish tank and I want to turn it vertical becuase mantids like vertical more than horizontal. If I do so these are the only air holes available. Is it enough?

What are some aggressive mantis species that will hunt down their prey? I only have Chinese Mantids and they don't really hunt down their prey. I always find it fascinating watching a praying mantis hunt down their prey.

Is pulsing of the abnomend show that the mantis might moult soon? My mantis is doing this. It's at L4 stage and has a very fat abnomend and keeps pulsing. 

My mantids are l4 

So I have this chinese mantis that molted before all my others and I was wondering if it's female or male? And on the forum I can never put a picture in because it always says upload fail... I think it has seven lines, but idk because it molted before all the others and is bigger than the...

I would get ghosts personally. They are way cooler in my opinion than a chinese mantis. And the ghost mantis could possibly live in that terrarium for its whole life, but a chinese mantis wouldn't because they get big! Also ghost mantids are more agressive so I think they are more cool to watch...

So in about a month i might be getting a couple ghost mantids for a communal tank. Should I get a 8x8x12 or 12x12x12? I will have 2-3 ghosts mantids in it.

OKay so my Chinese mantis molted to L4 and noticed that my mantis lost a leg Durning molting, and must have fallen. He got eco earth on the wound, should I try to get it off? It's been about 24 hrs since the molt and I'm kinda scared like if the skin hardens to the eco earth(if that's even...

Where did you get the vine?
