This is one of my chinese mantid nymphs. I bought it online for only £1.49! 1 quantity = 2 mantid nymphs! (buy one get one free) . If you are interested In buying mantids this is a very good deal as they do grow quite large and this type is very easy to look after, no heating or any special lighting is required unless you live in a cold area. Only room temperature is needed, 20-25c. If you are going to buy one be sure to get some micro crickets as these nymphs ( baby/ babies) are very small and require very small insects until they grow a bit. So If you are interested in buying, comment or PM me and I will give you the link. They have a care sheet for you to read in their description. Again this is a very easy species of praying mantis to keep and are very tame as you can see in this video, I just took this quick video a few hours of the mantids arriving.
I will be making more videos of both of them on there progress in growth.
@pjm13000 I will make a quick video in a minute to show you how big it is since this video

@pjm13000 The breeder said it was around l2. to be honest with every one who watches this video i do not really know a hole lot about mantids. I only have one of these now because the other one died after it molted however the one that is still alive seems pretty healthy and has molted about 3 times since this video. I am not to sure about the feeding but what i have done so far is just put about 3 crickets in every other day and that seems to have kept the mantid happy.
