[Jessie]

Just got a grizzled female and male mantis. For those who have had them. Any good advice you can give me?

Try to provide the similar condition as coastal Florida weather. They feed on wide variety of insects, but they do well for me on roaches, wax moth, and cricket. This species seem to be more active from dusk till dawn, but will feed on every given opportunity.
