I never thought I'd say I want a bug as a pet but he is the cutest 🥰
I love these types of videos!! I am not a bug person, but this makes me wanna be! I love your terrariums/vivariums. They're so well thought out and always come out 💯
She didn’t use a barrier between the rocks and the moss/charcoal it keep them from mixing and the substrate from sitting in water.
If u get a mantis get a girl the boys fly not good but they still fly
I love how the terrarium turned out! Maybe you could name the mantis after one of the Ghostbusters? 😅
Also, moss doesn't have a vascular system, so those roots are from something else. If they're coming straight from that piece of wood, it may be mycelium (the root-like body of fungus) which isn't necessarily a good or bad thing.
exactly my thoughts 😊
Yeah, true. moss has a root-like alternative that doesn't grow long and is good at grabbing onto surfaces (AKA the reason why it grows on almost any surface). if there's roots it's not the moss :0
That’s a good idea! Ghostbusters
About 10 years ago I found a Mantis outside in the yard. He/she hung out for about a week until a bad storm came. While it was here I fed (roaches and bugs from the yard) and watched it. They are so cool to watch eating.
This video was awesome! I would love to see a video of where to get mantis, care tips, watering the plants in there, etc. So interesting! Making me want one now too!
12:15 Technically moss don't have roots they have rhizoids only serve to anchor the plant but whatever who cares haha anyway i may be wrong but i don't think those are moss roots because they go way too deep and i don't think those are even plant roots by the way they are growing, my best guess is that it's some species of white rot mushroom mycelium(root-like structure of a fungus), probably came with that little stick you put in, i don't think it's anything to worry about, in fact it's pretty cool and don't be surprised when some mushrooms pop up.
Btw great terrarium! those little mantis are really lucky good job.
I'd love to see an update when the mantis, moss and plants grow!
So cool! I would love a more in depth video of caring for your mantis
Me too!!
I love this! I really want to build one now, even though i have nothing to put in there😅 i could watch these types of videos forever, its very addictive. I hope you make more, your’re so talented!
Love this kind of video! The aqua soil/sphagnum moss idea is so brilliant for the background! ❤
Love it Harli! His terrarium is perfect! Never seen the aqua soil background genius! I used to have an orchid mantis years ago, you’re making me want another. (I went from the orchid mantis to keeping tarantulas, thinking I’d enjoy their longer lifespan, but honestly they are boring in comparison. They don’t move around much at all. They are beautiful, but mantis are much more fun).
How do you get these different mantis's?
I always wanted the ones that look like and orchid. I love the set up.
You should look into getting morning geckos they are great terrarium pets and fascinating to watch I have 2 in my mini terrarium
I love it! This video is soooo timely. There is some beautiful moss carpeting an area where I live and I wanted to see how I can propagate it and make something cool out of it and then you post this awesomeness! I wasn't even sure how to store it but then I see you have it just in a container so boom! *chef kiss* thank you!
So cute!! I think you should name it Janine after the receptionist for the Ghostbusters. LOL Or maybe Dana after Sigourney Weaver's character
This is a beautiful setup and it should only continue to look better as the plants fill in!
Maybe as names Potato Pancake Leaf Olive Gray Nessy hoopfully you like this names.
Okay...long time watcher, hardly ever commenter...love your videos by the way, but that skull in the background, where did you get it? I've it!!
Is that a Canadian accent?? I’ve been trying to get mantids here, but I don’t think import laws allow them? I used to have a whole bunch in the UK (griffin, giant Asian, flower etc) and there was no import issues whatsoever. Any thoughts?
Name him Dave or Fred, or Gus’s. Hahahaha. Use a basic male name. Btw how do you know it’s a boy? I don’t know anything about these guys but I’m developing a fondness because of you ❤I’m on at 1:12 and super interested in what you’re about to do with that mixture. Will it dry? Exited to the end. Yeeeeks
Actually, I have found that rabbit foot fern’s don’t do very well in vivarium or terrariums unfortunately. Though this is the person who accidentally put her rabbit foot fern in direct sunlight.
Awe omg Harli, stop but also don't stop giving me new hobbies girl 😩😂 they are so cute how can I not get some now I know how to keep them? Right? 😂🙏💖🤘
Damn girl, you’re looking so fine. Last few vids, you’re shining. Way to go
So cool! Can’t wait for more videos of your new mantis. What a cutie! Making me want one too 😄
SHUT UP I JUST GOT TWO 🥰🥰🥰 I'm so happy for this video!
where do you buy the mantis? I really like mantis😢 can you give us the links?😮
Inky and blinky, or pinky and Clyde! Pac-Man ghosts!
Just ordered a 5 pack of ghost mantises in hopes to breed them eventually:)
You make very good terrariums! Have you ever wanted pet geckos?
This was so cool. I loved seeing the little mantis catching the fly.
You did so good! I absolutely love how you made it and the grapevine made it look so complete. I was thinking about getting some little critters and I think these little dudes would be perfect for me. I hope they are loving their new home 💚
Maiden hair fern
I think I should keep a mantis now..btw new sub here..teach me how to keep mantis.
Hi! do you have issues with the lid of this terrarium? it seems like itd be annoying to only be able to open it from the top?
Omg I really want a mantis now and look into taking care of one. They are so cute!
what size enclosure is this please? hows did the young mantis get on in the larger enclosure?
I have a ghost mantis on the way and I am so excited for her to arrive and I have my setup ready. I heard that they are amazing pets!
That tank is so cute! So is little Ghost Ryder!
Is the skull next to you a planter? What do they eat and how do you get it?
6:43 hold on the rocks are a drainage layer you don't want the soil to go into the rock layer since if it does there is no point for the drainage..
Yeah but how do you clean its poo gurl?😅😂
You can name him Casper. Or some other ghost character name.
Praying Mantis eat aphids! We all need some❤
Ava - ghost character from antman and the wasp ☺️
they are profound amazing creatures
Name the one that’s not a ghost cactus Casper!
1:12 where do you get those nice polished rocks?
Casper! for the ghost mantis lol
Great video, really sweet. A beautyful piece of nature! Subscribed.
Thank you
simply gorgeous work, you are an artist. Also I must say that I really appreciate that this video doesn't have any background music! it really helps my adhd for extra focus on learning :) and i can play my own background music. hehe
Maybe the name could be casper
Omg Ghosty is so cute. I like the name Ghosty lol. The terrarium looks so cool 😍😍
I love buggy pets 🥰 I have some sea monkeys now, but I’d love some terrestrial buddies
Where can I buy this stuff?
It would be so cool to add crystals too! Like rose quarts, clear quarts, amethyst, just nothing that ands with -ite Bcz stones like labradorite, selenite, fluorite, can dissolve in water. And I can’t wait for the babies to grow! And it’ll be so great learning experience for ur sons!
Unfortunately if you sourced your mossy bark or any of the Hardscape from outside directly and didn't boil it (moss is much the same although you just use multiple RO water wash/rinses then there is a risk that these pieces will both carry and hence infect your terrarium with some pest, disease , etc which are prevalent outside. In turn this can affect the health of your inhabitants.
Another great project,looks amazing👍
💚🌱🌵☘️💚
E.T. that's what I called my big green baby.
P.s. it looks fantastic !
I’ve never seen something like this before and it looks super interesting. Can you list the products you used (like what’s that soil you grind). How does is stay vertically. So different than any other terrariums tutorials out there.
I love mantis but I can't or won't feed live
But this is so ace I love it.
I hqve no got long fiber spag but had shredded stuff which I think is what you used her I find it so much easier in the tiny bits in my Prop box but the long stuff looks so much prettier
Hope they do well
Have fun
Fun video! I love the different camera angles, very helpful to see what's happening.
Very nice! Cute little guys not sure I would get them but definitely admire them ahaha. Have you thought about getting into jumping spiders?
Pls can you name it Casper
Casper for the Ghost Mantis🤗 Looks so beautiful, you're great at this!!!
OMG I love them!!!! CUTE!
Most of those ferns you are finding popping up in you Sphagnum moss are new Zealand native ferns the one you didn't know the name for is a maiden hair fern they are really pretty when big !
Is there a lid on top? With holes for oxygen? Want more of these from you because your design are beautiful and you are calming and interesting to watch/listen. Please make another one soon with detail instructions and how why what Btw you are so so cute and one of the best on here
Another amazing job with your terrarium. You are such a pro at this. So effortlessly and satisfying. Love it and love the ghosty mantis.
Love,❤️ love❤️ love ❤️this!
a ghost mantis needs a relative humidity of 50% to 70% and a good ventilation crosswise from the bottom to the top of the terrarium. This is a GRAVE.... not a nice terrarium for a ghost mantis.
@@phantast6941 lived for a year so idk. I had a humidity gauge & it stayed around 65%
@@HarliG it looked so more moist. But the mantis stayed at the very top right?
love ghost mantises! i honestly love all bugs. i plan to get a female black ghost mantis in march!
what do you use for lighting in planted enclosures?
A Hiro aquatics grow light right aboce
Thanks for showing us the steps to set up a terrarium. By the way love your pretty blue & white striped shirt!
Beetle juice….Casper
Love this video. That tank is amazing. I think Casper is going to love his new home
Name: Ghost Malone
I’m obsessed with your terrarium videos!!! I can’t wait to see what you do with your new aquarium!! 🐠💕
I’ve been planning on getting a mantis this year! This video got me so excited 😊
I like how you did the back better than those that use styrofoam. Natural.
Looking forward to an update! This was fantastic.
The terrarium turned out beautiful, and ghosty is so cute!
Well done..bravo!!
Keep us updated on Ghost.
