Cool mantis, It's so tiny! We live next to the woods, and I love making little terrariums with stuff I've gathered there and in our backyard, which I've finally convinced my housemate to allow to return to meadow instead of a conventional lawn.
The footage off that mantis at the end is amazing best I've ever seen...when it snaps back into a twig shape like a bloody transformer lol....thank god their isn't huge mantis living on earth or else we would be in trouble lol...cheers
Yes we would indeed be in very big trouble!! They are crazy strong, I have seen footage of them eating birds and snakes
Those were some of the best shots of a mantis I’ve seen. Well done.
Thank you!
Jesus you videos are so professional now. I recently catched water scorpions which are actually very similiar to mantis. I dont know if they are in your area but thery are so interesting creatures. When i catched it i feed it same incects which you tried to feed your mantis.
Thank you! I put A LOT of time in this one so I'm glad you said that 😅 yes they are awesome! I used to catch those when I was a child but It has been I while since I have seen one. Might make another water ecosystem and try to look for one
One of your best videos yet, hope the algorithm will pick u up soon
Thank you! I hope so too because I put a lot of work in this one 😅 but I'm already glad you like it
This video was really cool, mantises are crazy looking up close
Thank you! Yes it is only after you see them up close that you realise how weird they are 😅
I will probably change the lids for a mesh at the top to allow for better airflow.
I hope you enjoyed the video. If there is anything I can change or do different to make next video better, please let me know!

Your mantis are freaking cool looking!! We have a recently hatched egg sac with way more nymphs than I can count. My 4 year old brought it inside and put it in a container before I realized what it was, two of the nymphs were eating fruit flies in our fruit bowl about 2 days or so after they’d hatched. It was really cool
That is indeed very cool!
I subscribed for Bob. You better treat them well!
Welcome!!
Praying mantis are such cool creatures
Mantis are crazy - they can catch and eat mice....it's scary, and disgusting....and fascinating ....all in one.
You just made my night, so glad I found your channel.
Thanks
Thank you!!!
@@HomemadeEcosystems Keep up the cool videos!
I enjoy your videos quite a bit. I wish you would go into more detail about your animals. Thanks!
I can do that !
Classic Bob....😂.
Hey you actually followed my tips
Great!
Yep I did, thanks!
Wondering how this experiment went later on, as it's about eight to nine month ago that the video got uploaded. Knowing a bit about typical mantis lifecycles and -spans, there's no doubts these three tiny guys meanwhile are in mantis heaven. But also there's a good chance you were a good Dungeon Keeper, lil fellas made it to adulthood and now you are caring for their offspring. How did it go on ?
yes they are indeed in mantis heaven. They reached adulthood but they were 3 females so no offspring unfortunately
@@HomemadeEcosystems my first pet insect about twenty-five years ago was a big fat green mantis of unknown species, seen her in a local terraristics store and immediately fell in love with that pocket predator. Gave her a nice enclosure and home, and obviously she felt comfy with my care, as she blessed me with her decision to teach me about the wonder of parthenogenesis. One day i spotted an ooth in her enclosure, two more the next day. Didn't expect that something could happen with these ooths as she NEVER met a male, but a couple weeks later i thought i've seen a moskito in that glass box... then two .. then three wtf ... 😳😮 .. long story bit shorter, dozends of supertiny Angelas (that was her name) hatched from those three ooths, and made me learn how to be a good mantis dad. Was a fun journey this lovely mantis teached me, and just the beginning of a lovely hobby for a couple years.
Love it bro!!
This is so good 👍
Alright, that was pretty cool. I've watched several of your videos . I was going to subscribe to help you and for the continued success of your channel, but not now. Now I'm going to subscribe for Bob.
Bob appreciates it ! Welcome!
Love your videos man! Keep up the good work :)
Amazing!
I used to have a pet praying mantis!
cool! what species?
Your luck is amazing. You scored three females xD
Lol, i guess I'm a ladies man 🤣
So I don’t think isopods exist in my area, maybe I’ll snag some from Ohio this fall because I love them. :)
Can you name a ant coleny?
You could but Coleny is a terrible name for an ant dude. Flick suites an ant much better!
that species can't climb smooth surfaces, thats why you see it slipping a lot
I used to collect mantises all the time. Caught a huge one once & mistakenly put a cricket in the jar overnight as prey. Woke up to a headless & limbless mantis😔
that's sad!
Probably the mantis has molted and had a soft exoskeleton so the cricket ate it

Welcome!
Neato
Thanks!
Do you have resources on mantis care?
I just looked up what I needed to know online, I don't really have special resources or something
I really want to make a terrarium out of a coffee jar, what animal do you recommend I put in it
Small animals like isopods, millipedes, sprintails, small snails,..
Would tiny centipedes work?
Because I occasionally find them
@@GeckoTech_Engineer yes centipedes are predators so you have to make sure you have some springtails or other small insects in there as food. Also centipedes are very sensitive to drying out so keep it humid in there 😁
Thanks😀
The 666 likes are so well deserved.
This is a communal mantis species
I should know because my profile picture literally has this species of mantis😀
Really? I had them in a shared terrarium for a day and it looked like they were attacking each other so I didn't want to take the chance 😁
From my experience they wouldn't even eat tiny grasshoppers the size of there eyes
They would only eat fruit flies
@@timcool6162 so far they have eaten almost anything I have given them 😅
My mantids where smaller so that might have an effect 🤔
And im over here thinking you're like 17
A little bit older :p
Just finished watching when I got back from work
Great video!
Shame they're all female
Thanks! Yes indeed, I was hoping to breed them. Maybe their antannea still change when they molt and one turnes out to be male, but I don't think so. Not too much info on these guys online
@@HomemadeEcosystems they don't change sex when needed, I know that for certain, maybe on their last molt when they are considered adults and ready for mating their antennas change?
I know that people can get mantis nowadays online, maybe you can get lucky and find a male online?
@@redtsar yes indeed, I was hoping that the feathery antennae only show after last molt. But great idea! Might look for a male online
@@HomemadeEcosystems not a problem!
Happy hunting!
