Yes your mantis is male...a lot skinnier than our fat female. Ours lives on our huge tangled orchid cactus...lots of "arms" to climb and sleep upside down. We spray our plants down a long with her. She enjoys this. We where told not to catch outdoor grasshoppers for because of parasites...we buy giant mill worms. But she was fine for the summer what we caught in our field. It's fall snow in Montana now. We did name her Vera. She seems happy-go-lucky type of bug. I enjoyed your video. Sounds like 3 years ago during covid. I'm glad you had your praying mantis for your spirit during that time. Thank you 😊
I'm an old lady, and have always loved the praying mantis! I remember keeping/feeding them as a child, but would let them go once they were able to fly (so they could go fulfill their mantis-lives and make babies.) I still marvel when I find them in my yard or garden; they are utterly perfect creatures! Just found your channel today- have subscribed!
thanks for this video, found one outside and brought him/her in a day ago, I have 100s of houseplants in every room, hope he/she makes it, this was helpful!
I had a ghost mantis living on my desk for 3 months during the quarantine. She was an adult female so she didn't roam much. Since I was almost always home I was able to keep an eye on her. I hand fed her and would give a little mist puddle for her every once in a while. She also liked beer can condensation haha.
@@THECALEDONIANLAIR I subbed also. I'm too easily spooked by insects and I'd worry I'd suddenly realize there's a 'bug" on my hand and send it flying. Also, I have a cat and I know what horrors she inflicts on them. But they're fascinating and I can't get my friends to get one, so TH-cam vicarious pets it is.
youre one of my fave mantis-tubers. last Christmas my Giant African got to spend most of Christmas in the Christmas tree! it was very nice for her and she lived several months after Peace
You have such a soothing way of speaking. I’m attempting to convince my partner to let me bring a mantis into the house for the plants. I think your video may have helped? Time will tell!
I have about 20-30 nymphs roaming free in the bedroom, I'm excited to see what happens ☺️ My partner brought in a Wash Basket with an egg sac on it and now they roam the house 😅 They also eat unpasteurised Honey 🍯 I'll put some plants in. Good video 😊 At the same time, I've been studying Deep Philosophy, so yes, they do aid the traveller...🎉
Yeah buddy. I just thought can you do that? Then I found your video. I’m going to try it. My wife has succulents and I just brought a young Moringa tree in for the winter. We will see what happens.
Does he always stay on the plants? Because I have 3 big palm trees all in separate locations if I got one I would let him just roam on them free and get wooden crescent 🪵 to put on top of the dirt piles of the plants for him to roam on my biggest c concern would be him staying on the plants. I wouldn’t want to accidentally step on him because he left the plants
Your vids are so pleasant to watch, especially with the relaxing music in the background. I hope you return more to TH-cam with more bug content! I also had a question about your previous upload, but I figured it would be buried in the comments of that video since it blew up a lot so I wanted to ask it here. For your orchid mantises, do you use a heat lamp or some other kind of heat producing thing to keep them warm and help with humidity? I'm planning on using glass jars for orchids like you did, so I'm wondering if heat lamps are the way to go or if theres something else to use.
Just found one living on one of more than 70 houseplants. Trying to decide whether to keep him or take him outside. I live in the Midwest. Found a tiny baby last night and I did set him on one of plants in the other room. The one I found today is the size of yours. Except larger abdomen so I think it’s a female. It’s light brown stick colored. Any insights and advice would be appreciated. I’m in no rush to do anything and may just name her.
aye im 16 and 2 years ago when i was 15 and kept my first mantis, i just told my mom that they don't smell, their diet is really easy, and that they will only live for around a year so that theyre wasn't a huge commitment towards them. she agreed and i raised my mantis till adulthood :)

Love listening to you talk about the mantises you have while showing video of them in action! Just realized you have more.
This is really great to see. I wish that they lived longer, some are so beautiful especially the orchid mantis. 👏🏼👍🏻😷
Aww what a lil cutie

Thanks for your video! Beautiful creature's. I considered getting one for my orchid plants.
I want to get my first mantis but not sure what to get and where to get it. I am learning from you so thanks for your videos.
Giant Asian, ghost, rainforest mantids are about the easiest I've looked after.
great to see you post again
Thanks, dude.
I'd love to do that! I've never seen any in my parts of Canada, but I know we have at least 3 species.

Can praying mantis help with fungus gnats?
I want to have my praying mantis outside the enclosure but I don't think he and my cats would get along :'(
I raised mine from a nymph and she just got her adult wings. I lost her in my apartment.
If you have those yellow sticky tape things for knats would a mantis get stuck
He doesn't go on the coach or something cuz I would hate to sit on one
Wow😍

I want a pet praying mantis I live with my parents (I’m 15) how can I convince them to keep one as a pet?

Try getting a native species if you live in England 😁
