I recently got an L3 nymph of this species and this is my first time keeping them. Well, I have "it" housed in a glass tank with mesh on 3 of the four walls and the lid. I have noticed that he/she is constantly "dancing" and sometimes randomly begins to run around on the top; it does sit still a bit but it seems to be on the move most of the time. The temperature in the tank is ~95 F and the humidity is 26% percent right now. I was just wondering if this very active behavior is normal for this species, as the other mantises I have kept definitely sat around much more. :p

 
Never heard of this before. All my blephs sit around all day waiting for food. FYI they can't grip glass or plastic.
