Welcome

 

[SneakyMantis]

is my mantis ok?

 

[Synapze]

Welcome!

Is is possible to get a better photo or description of what you're seeing? All I can make out is that one pseudopupil looks larger.

I think your mantis is fine, just tried to track prey through the side of her/his cage, and rubbed his eye on the side of the cage. I have a Tenodera that has the same problem.

welcome.

I think your mantis is fine, one of my mantids had a spot on his eye after a molt.  The next molt is was gone. Your mantis is not an adult yet, so maybe the next molt it will be gone too.

anyone know what type of mantis it is and i usually feed it small grass hoppers or crickets sometimes moths

 

[River Dane]

Looks like a Stagmomantis sp., probably a pre-sub/subadult based on the pretty large wing buds. Perhaps it is a male?

 

[SneakyMantis]

its eyes are usually red but they turn grey sometimes going to look for a cricket for it to eat is feeding it once a day enough?

 

[MantisGirl13]

That is normal. Feeding it once a day should be fine, but don't worry about keeping a strict feeding schedule;it is ok to miss a day or two if he is getting fat. It is definitely a Stagmomantis sp.

[River Dane]

Looks like an adult male Stagmomantis (possibly limbata or carolina?). Nice little fella!
