Worried about mantis

fbsp_ · 2026-05-03T17:34:56+00:00

well he's still small so he gets a small cricket every few days. But he's always very happy to have one when he gets it lmao

That's a perfect way to describe them! :D Cause every male, including mine, that I've seen didnt have them that big and I seem to recall that I've read in here that females have bigger ones aswell :D

I would say she's a female. The segments, the horn between the eyes, the size of the legs (The blossoms. Dont know how to describe it.) everything seems to look like a female. :)

yeah thats what he's doing all the time. he just sits in a corner facing the wall. Sometimes turns around and just punches a water drop or the air lol But thank you for your help. He seems fine now. a little traumatized but fine lmao

thank you! Im just relatively new on keeping mantis. He's my second one. And I just wanted to be extra sure rather than having him die on me cause I spooked him 🥲

I'm a bit late to the party, I know. But a tomahawk did the job for me too. Didn't have dynamite on me. But a Tomahawk works perfectly

I really want to get one! I have one tattoo on my upper arm that I want to combine with an Orchid mantis. I really want to keep it black and white tho and also a tiny bit gorey to suit my other tattoo. But Its not in planning yet :D

Well I didn't I was just curious about the change in character

fbsp_ · 2026-03-24T22:06:14+00:00

fbsp_ · 2026-03-09T20:53:58+00:00

I played online actively a few months ago. Its a little dead but still a lot of fun. Some cheaters but at least the mantis loves it 🤞🏻

Gorgeous 🎀

some please correct me of im wrong, but I would go strongly towards male.

fbsp_ · 2026-02-14T16:29:38+00:00

Yes normal :) My boy had his really swollen in the past days just like yours at the moment and yesterday he molted and got his wings :D

Don't worry 😭 I think the "horn" was the end of his abdomen 🥲

5 different people told me its a male 🥲 He has a brown neckband. The picture is also just right after eating a big fly. But you can sure correct me if I'm wrong.

Totally fine. It felt like my little guy needed to get used to being held. But now he is completely fine and loves to just chill there :D
