Praying Mantis Living Juvenile

This is the Chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis). We also offer the Carolina.

The Chinese Mantis will reach 3-5 inches when fully grown and ranges in color from green to light brown. Please note- we cannot accept color requests when ordering. It lives in a large area of the United States and is probably the most common species of mantis used for garden pest control.

If you are keeping these as pets, please have food on hand when your new pets arrive. They are voracious eaters! For these juveniles, we recommend the flightless fruit flies along with other supplements such as silkworms. We offer both.

Our juveniles are typically L2 - L4, meaning they have molted 1-3 times.

We will send you 2 praying mantises for each 1 you order. In case one dies during shipment, you'll still have the one you ordered. Both most always make it, so you'll have double the fun!
