📦 Maintenance requirements :

• Vertical terrarium : at least 2 times its width and 3 times its height.

• Ideal temperature : between 28 and 35 °C during the day with a slight drop at night.

• Constant humidity : around 75% , with good ventilation to avoid fungi.

• Feeding : from a young age with Drosophila hydei or melanogaster , and as they grow, with larger insects such as crickets, small locusts or blapticas, always live, preferring flying insects such as the asticot fly.

This species is highly valued by mantis breeders , both for its spectacular defensive display and for its calm and elegant behavior. They can also be kept in groups, since it is a species adapted to living in communities, with very low cannibalism if it does not lack food.
