Answer 2

Basically all you need to create a humane habitat for a praying mantis is oxygen (of course), some leaves and/or sticks, and food every now and then. Food consists of grasshoppers, blowflies, wasps, houseflies, moths, cockroaches, and Spiders. If you want to feed it in an interesting way, get a praying mantis of the opposite sex and they will mate. After they are done, the female will eat the male. To tell if the mantis is a male or a female just see if it is bigger and plumper that the other. Also check if the head is fatter. The bigger one is usually the female. If you don't have the opposite sex to compare to then there is no way you can tell by any means without a comparison.
