Praying mantises are fascinating creatures that make great pets. They are relatively low-maintenance and can be quite entertaining to watch. If you are thinking about getting a mantis as a pet, there are a few things you need to know about how to care for them.
One of the most important things to know about mantises is that they are predators. They eat live insects, so you will need to be prepared to provide a steady supply of food for your pet. The type of insects you need to feed your mantis will depend on the size of the mantis. Smaller mantises can eat fruit flies or small crickets, while larger mantises can eat larger insects, such as dubia roaches or mealworms.
