Care Guidance

Orchid Mantises should be kept in a secure, well-ventilated enclosure with suitable climbing points and enough space to hang safely during moulting. The enclosure should not be allowed to become overly wet or poorly ventilated.

Feed appropriately sized live prey based on the mantis’s size and life stage. Avoid prey that is too large, and remove uneaten food if needed.

Handling should be kept to a minimum, as mantises are fragile and can be stressed or injured easily.

Important Notes

Orchid Mantises are beautiful but delicate, and their care should not be treated as fully hands-off or low-maintenance. Correct humidity, ventilation, feeding and moulting space are important for their welfare.
