Ghost Mantis (Phyllocrania paradoxa)

from $30.00

BEST SELLER! This is my BEST SELLING mantis! They are the best choice for first time keepers! Ghosts are the easiest of all exotic mantises. They are low maintenance but still look exotic! Just a really cool species that mimics a dead leaf. This species is really easy to care for but at the same time it looks like an alien. Ghost mantises are a fascinating species of praying mantis known for their leaf-like appearance, which helps them blend into dry foliage as camouflage. Native to arid regions of Africa and Madagascar, they thrive in warm, moderately humid environments. In captivity, they should be kept in well-ventilated enclosures with temperatures between 75–85°F (24–29°C) and humidity levels around 50–70%. These mantises are relatively small, growing up to 2 inches long, and are generally docile and slow-moving, making them a great beginner species. They prefer a diet of small live insects like fruit flies as nymphs or houseflies as adults. Although, cannibalism can occur, this species is often kept together in captivity.
