Quick Care Guide
Temperature & Humidity:
Keep your enclosure between 24–30°C with 60–80% humidity. Light misting 2–3 times per week helps maintain hydration and supports healthy molts.
Enclosure Size:
Choose a tall, well-ventilated enclosure that’s at least 3x the mantis’s body height, with minimal decor while it’s growing to avoid molting issues.
Feeding:
-
Nymphs: Feed fruit flies (Drosophila spp.) every 1–2 days
-
Juveniles/Adults: Offer blue/green bottle flies, small roaches, moths, or waxworms (sparingly) every 2–4 days
-
Prey should be no larger than half the mantis's body size
Always remove uneaten insects to prevent stress or injury.
Lifespan:
Once fully grown, the Orchid Mantis lives around 6 to 12 months, depending on sex and conditions.
