Praying mantises belong to a large family of insects with over 2,200 species distributed worldwide. The species we offer, the mantidae family, is what most people think of when they hear the name Praying Mantis. These incredible creatures have fascinating features such as the illusion of a small pupil created by their compound eyes and their iconic prayer-like stance.

As predators, praying mantises have a diverse diet and can eat almost anything they can capture. From flightless fruit flies to larger critters like fish and even rodents, their appetite knows no bounds. We provide a variety of feeder insects for your pet mantises, ensuring they receive the nutrition they need as they grow.

While praying mantises aren't known for their self-defense abilities, they use camouflage and protective coloring to blend into their surroundings. Some species even fan their wings or hiss to deter predators. As an effective form of biological pest control, praying mantises can help control harmful insect populations in your garden without the need for chemical pesticides.

If you're interested in caring for praying mantises as pets or employing them in your garden, we have everything you need. From egg cases to living food and supplies, our store offers a wide selection of products.
