[QUOTE="ceojac, post: 344613, member: 12653"] Substrate is not required, but it can help to retain humidity if their containers seem to get excessively dry, however there is probably not enough space for any in those containers. Instead, you can put a layer of moist paper towel on the bottom if you want to, and this will be easy to clean and replace. If you had taller containers you could add a thin layer (~1/2 in) of either moistened coco coir or sphagnum moss (the whole kind, not the powdered messy stuff) as these retain humidity quite well. You can find these substrates at pretty much any garden or hardware store. Ghost mantises however do not have highly demanding humidity requirements, but a little humidity is not bad for them.
