Phyllocrania paradoxa - ghost mantis Nymphs
Currently feeding on hydei fruit flys. We feed x3-x5 per feed.
temps 20 - 26c. night temps low as 18c
fully grown - approx 5cm.
you will receive a i2-i4 nymph, they will arrive in a deli pot with mesh. It can stay in this for one more moult maximum. Then it will require a smoothie cup with mesh over the top for them to hang from when moulting. Substrate and a small artificial plant to hang from to catch pray or moult. These can also be found on my website.
Ensure the Enclosure must always be at least three times their body length so they are able to moult safely.
Additional info - Phyllocrania paradoxa Also know as the ghost mantis have amazing camouflage, they look like crumpled up leaves. They use this to their advantage so their prey wonders over close enough to become their next meal.
this camouflage is also used to go unseen by predators, where they are from which is Madagascar and some parts of Africa.
