Living Praying Mantises - Chinese and Carolina

|
Living Praying Mantis Juvenile - CHINESE
|
The Chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis) will reach 3-5 inches when fully grown and
ranges in color from green to light brown. 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
wingless fruit flies along
with other supplements such as silkworms. We offer both.
* Typically L2 - L4

Living Praying Mantis Juvenile - CAROLINA
|
The Carolina mantis (Stagmomantis carolina) reaches 2 - 2.5 inches when full grown and
ranges in color from dusty gray to brown and green. The Carolina is native to the United States and lives in a large part of the country.
Like the Chinese, this mantis is also widely
used as a form of biological pest control in the garden.
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
wingless fruit flies along
with other supplements such as silkworms. We sell both items.

* 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 will
likely make it, so you'll have double the fun!
IMPORTANT: This offer does not apply to the
12 Sale we sometimes run (12 is the number you will receive) or the Kits with Live Mantids (2 is the number you will receive).
* Please note: Praying mantids must be consistently fed, misted and taken proper care of. While we do guarantee live delivery under
most situations (please read our live guarantee here), we do not
guarantee that the mantids will continue to live once out of our care and control. But don't worry, as long as you follow
the directions, they should be just fine.
