Fatal Mantis StoreFront Closing


Due to a difficult family situation, the Fatal Mantis Houston storefront will be closing down most of its operations for the foreseeable future.

Local pickups will still be available by appointment only.

The online store, Expos, and shipping will still maintain the same operations. 

We appreciate everyone's continuing support and hope to return to full operations in the future.

All live insects sold through Fatal Mantis are captive bred and meant to be kept as pets. Most species are exotic and cannot be released into the wild. Native mantis ootheca are periodically available for pest control or educational purposes.
