Housing:

These mantids are very small reaching around an inch as adults so they don’t require much space. Generally the container must be 3x the mantis length and 2x for the width. It must be well ventilated to prevent the growth of mold

This species is not very cannibalistic and can be kept together if well fed and with adequate space. However it’s a smart idea to kept egg laying adult females separated as they can be ravenous eaters 

Temperature:

They prefer temps from 65-85 F but are very forgiving and can go lower or higher. . A heat lamp or heating pad can be used to get the desired temp. They will grow slower at lower temperatures. 

Humidity:

They can have a large range but prefer humidity from 50-70%. Misting Every other day can meet these requirements

Water:

Mantids do not require standing water to drink and receive most of their moisture from their food. They will however drink water drops from misting. Good ventilation is required to prevent mold growth from higher humidity

Feeding:

Flying insects are the preferred source of food. As nymphs fruit flies are the ideal food source and increase to house flies and blue/green bottle flies as they get larger. They also will enjoy moths or other harmless flying insects. It’s recommended that the size of the feeder insect does not exceed 1/2 the mantis length. They can eat small crickets as older nymphs or adults. Most pet stores sell fruit flies and wax worms that can be grown into moths. Larger flies can found easily from online suppliers or sometimes from bait shops.
