My name is Marlene. I have always loved nature and mantids since I was a small child. I started keeping mantids as pets in November 2023. My love for them grew exponentially so I wanted to share them with others.

Mantids, also known as praying mantises, are fascinating insects that belong to the order Mantodea. These slender and graceful creatures are known for their distinctive body shape, with elongated bodies and triangular heads that can turn 180 degrees to scan their surroundings.

Mantids are found in a variety of habitats worldwide, from tropical rainforests to temperate forests, grasslands, and gardens. They play a crucial role in pest control, helping to keep insect populations in check.

Overall, mantids are a fascinating group of insects that captivate with their beauty, hunting skills, and unique behaviors.
