Orchid Mantis Pet Enclosure. Need pest control for your garden or medical marijuana plants? This is because as a adult, females can get up to 3 inches long, while males can be less than 1.
This means that the cage, box or terrarium is at least 3x longer than the body length praying mantis and 2x wider than the body length of the praying. If an enclosure isn’t constructed well, it could be detrimental to the health of the mantis. Perfect starter setup for a praying mantis.
This insect, which is also known by quite a number of common names such as malaysian orchid praying mantis, malaysian orchid mantis, and pink orchid mantis, comes from malaysia, indonesian, and sumatran rain forests.
A praying mantis is a fun and relatively simple pet to care for. The enclosure must have adequate ventilation, but can be glass, acrylic, or a screen or mesh cage. For example, if your mantis is approximately 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) wide and 2 inches (5.1 cm) long, the container would need to be 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide and 6 inches (15 cm) long. So if you have many mantis of this species, keep them in individual enclosures.
