Its amazing to see that the mantis can over-power an insect the same size as it, and support its whole body in its from arms! Truly amazing insects and by far my favorite species of insect.
@Reptiliatus The cricket does not seem to be big as the mantis. The cricket was very big for her anyway. One of my Gambian Spotted Eye Flower Mantids caught and ate a Horse Fly that was as long as herself! The Horse Fly was bigger. That is an amazing mantis!

Wow, that is amazing. Mine would eat each other up pretty quickly. Are they housed in a large container?

Yeah, in a quite large one with plentitude of food.
But if you want a communall species, you got to go with Unicorns or some Empusidae.
