Hey all! I new to keeping mantises, I have only ever brought in mantises from outdoors when it get colder out. I did recently purchase a European and Ghost mantis and this is my first time really raising a mantis. So I would appreciate all the advice and tips you can give!! I've always had a love for mantises growing up and I finally want to raise and possibly eventually breed mantises! I love seeing others mantises and learning more about them!

Hey @x0jennalee0x welcome!

Our first mantises were wild caught europeans. That was fall 2018.

Now we have 24 mantises. 9 different species.

Be careful or you'll become hooked!

Enjoy!

Welcome!

There are some great care sheets on the forums that are a good place to start learning more about the Mantids you keep. I also found searching or just browsing topics here very educational. If you have specific care questions, you can always post them in the appropriate area and we will all gladly help as best we can.

This is an excellent community. You are in the right place
