:lol: Hello and welcome to the forum "stressed out" the religiosa are a delicate bunch! If first time the best mantis for you would be the Giant Asian, a hardy mantis and they do come in green!

Welcome!

European mantises is are very hard to care for when young. I lost all of mine, not fun.

Aim for a gaint asian, maybe a ghost or an adult version of some mantises, adults are much hardier (or in my exprience) and good exprience for beginners. I had two adults and then moved onto nymphs after they passed.

Good luck!

Hi ya, welcome to the forum.

I'd buy adults as they do not have to shed their skin or moult.
