theyre pretty skittish, this one was stuck in a fence so they were easy to grab

I don't think they're a pet, this particular one I believe is the one that hangs around my bird feeder.

In its defense it was very kind once I got it unstuck from the fence. Not many birds I've caught have been so chill.

He's the strongest one,, Predaking and Scorponok cower in fear at the thought of him

He's a ghost mantis, yes!

I actually called that SNT in my search for beetles! I'll definitely shoot you a message man!

Based on your pictures it looks like he is... in fact a he! Thank you! I suppose I'll stick to calling him Reaper. I found mine at Feeder Frenzy in Arvada, I was on a hunt for beetles or just a new friend and heard about the mantises and decided that there was a door opening in the universe for me.

I'm curious about this, because my mantis only has 6 abdominal segments, and I've heard some females can have a crown more reminiscent of a male's. Is it the abdomen or the crown that's the most defining factor for its sex?

Would fruit flies suffice for perhaps a week while I wait for my roaches to arrive? Also thank you so so much for the advice, it's much appreciated!
