Hi All,
I just got a mantis this weekend, and I got a few questions. The label just said pray mantis, and the origin is africa.
1. It looks a bit like the 'bud wing mantis' Parasphendale affinis to me. Please let me know if this is the case or not.
2. How often should I spray?
3. How often should I feed? It sometimes posts the 'threatened' post when it encounters the prey, is that normal?
4. It just molted yesterday, the day before it was still eating, and I got no clue that it was going to molt at all. How can I tell whether it is going to molt?
5. I am not very good at handling a camera and it seems that the pictures that I took doesnt quite have the correct contrast. Any tips for taking pictures of insects?
Thanks very much for your attention!
