Very cute species with uncommon look, easy to keep.

Starting with fruit flies but switching to curly wings house flies or green bottle flies quickly. Ghost Mantis is classical sit-and-wait predator, so it will not hunt actively – our recommendation is to feed them with harmless feeding objects like flies (roaches/crickets: direct feeding from tweezers only).

Males and females can be easily distinguished by their head extensions – it is longer and thinner by males and shorter and wider by females.
