Chinese mantis

Tenodera sinensis

Description:

This big boy can get up to 5 inches long. They use their front two legs armed with spikes to catch prey. They have two main eyes and three in the middle of their head. They like buildings for some reason, because I always seem to find them walking on my house.

Habitat:

Trees, Schrubs, grasses.

Notes:

I’ve bred these before. They sell as pets.
