They prey on small insects such as ants, mosquitos and flies. I had a pet praying mantis for 3months and it also ate cookies, porridge and ice cream.
if you try to keep a pet mantis in the garden without a cage it will fly away during the night do NOT CLIP WINGS if you do the mantis will most likely die and it will just crawl away.
it likes to eat roast chicken for tea and chocolate for dessert
Chinese praying mantis females generally grow to be around 6 inches long, which is very big for pet mantids. The males are generally smaller but not by much.
Well... Many people would say no, that you should feed a praying mantis live insects (Which are usually quite cheap from most pet shops) but I think it is okay. I had a pet praying mantis that I fed raw meat and he seemed to be fine and lived 6 months like an ordinary praying mantis. So if you want to be safe, I suggest feeding it crickets or mealworms. (But only to an adult mantis, don't feed nymphs crickets or mealworms)
in terms of size,a mantis named toxodera denticulata, or the javanese flower/stick mantis the record holder at 71/2 inches.however, ther is a larger unamed species that has jus been introduced to the pet trade.
I happen to have a pet mantis that will eat a pill bug from time to time. However they do not particularly like thes hard shelled insects and will eat softer things if they are not really hungry.
If you have one as a pet in a cage, get other insects. Crickets work best. You can buy them in a pet store or catch them in your backyard. (Buying them is more reliable)
praying mantises like live food they are not scavengers they are hunters if you want to feed one they eat flys,crikecs,and ants you can buy crickets, flys, and ants in some pet shops if you chose to not catch them.
