[QUOTE="Zeppy44, post: 302788, member: 9545"] This species is on my mantis bucket list. Did you think the mantis would prefer the flower for a hunting spot? Studies show not only do they not do that, they pick spots where they will be the flower in the preys eyes. All else being equal the prey will be more attracted to the mantis than the flowers. I have wondered why some put live orchids with their mantis. I would rather make the orchid mantis the star (imho) of the habitat. My first impulse is exploring new area. Second would be is your mantis trying to figure out where to hang out to get the flying prey? By the way how old is this mantis? [/QUOTE]
