May 30, 2013This praying mantis is one of the new bugs I have been caring for recently. I believe he is a male since he has more than 6 segments on the abdomen and the females will only have 6 while the males normally have 8. He’s still really small as you can see from some of the photos that were taken from further away. I am currently feeding him fruit flies from a culture I have and every couple of days ill spray a bit of water droplets onto the sides of his enclosure so he can drink if necessary. He’s been growing pretty fast and I can’t wait to see what he looks like full grown. Unfortunately, they don’t live that long. They only usually live about a year or a couple months over in captivity and even less in the wild. I’ll try to keep you guys posted with new photos of him as he grows. Everyone keeps suggesting I name him Zorak after the Mantis character on Space Ghost so I think from now on, that is what I’ll call him.
