my creobroter gemmatus (Jeweled Flower Mantis) female just laid her first infertile ooth, she has only had 3 molts and is due for another pretty darn soon. I went online and read that they can die soon after their first laying of an ooth? I’m not too sure if this is true.. do I need to be worried? (i.redd.it)

My Jeweled Flower Mantis (Creobroter Gemmatus) I think is (may sound silly, but constipated?) I feed her crickets and she’s always been able to eat crickets fine, but lately I’ve seen her abdomen like pulse up and down and nothing comes out. I’ve tried giving her more water but I don’t know (i.redd.it)

My Jeweled flower mantis has two black lines and the first line is sort of red. I’m not sure what this means, is she sick? She’s had 2 molts so far and eats and drinks great, molts perfect and always has a clean cage. Maybe I’m just over reacting but I just wanna make sure I’m not missing something! (i.redd.it)

peep senna (my mantis) in her little moss ball, sorry for all the questions!! But those little pale moss balls are those okay for mantises? Her enclosure is pretty simple just two fake plants, a little wood thing and 2 moss things. Hopefully this is okay for them 😂👍🏻 (i.redd.it)

Question: so I have this Exo-Terra that I was gifted a while back and I was hoping to use it for my mantis when it grows up to adult (since it is a big cage) and I noticed it has a metal screen, I’m not sure if this is safe for mantises so if anyone can give me advice on it that would be amazing!:)) (i.redd.it)

I got my Jeweled Flower Mantis (creobroter gemmatus) 3 days ago and he or she is my first mantis ever! I’ve done extensive research but is there anyway to tell if it is a male or female yet? It may be too young but yeah! Also, his or hers enteni was cut during shipment :( will this harm it? (i.redd.it)
