First picture of the new Mantis from Peter. Lucky enough to get one of this short supply of his Orchid Mantis. I'll share pictures here as time goes by.

Mantis  is very exploratory too. It hasn't stopped walking around its little home since it got in there. Mostly at the pot, is it saying it wants to hang out I wonder. I did have it on my hand for a bit. It made on to my shirt, cause my hand was on my lap, and half way up it before I put Mantis back away

Awesome! Looks healthy! What kind of cage set-up do you have?

Make up a little soup container from my local Chinese restaurant. Used cheese cloth for the side and top with some sticks and a little plastic aquarium plant for color. I am a little worried because Mantis hasn't yet eaten since it got home. It has though been quite active and curious about things going on. Seams like a very inquisitive little Mantid.
