Gonatista grisea, also known as the grizzled mantis is one of the best USA native mantids ever! Friendly, fierce, and flat haha. This little critter is an incredible ambush predator-mimicking lichen and bark patterns and becoming seemingly invisible when on the side of a tree or branch. We placed one on a pretty flower for you so you can actually see this little mantis. We have lots of nymphs!

The word, “cockroach” scares off so many people, however some species are quite cute, just like this domino roach!

Hello everyone, sadly there were quite a few issues with Amazon and we were not able to get all of our shipping materials in on time. Anyone who has purchased from us before knows that we have the best packaging there is and it’s something we take very seriously. Everything is supposed to arrive today and we will be able to get everything out tomorrow morning. Thank you for your understanding and feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

On the site we have some fun stuff available! Ghost mantis, Giant Asian Mantis (excellent for beginners), Blue Death Feigning beetles (literally the easiest pet on the planet), Regal Jumping Spiders, and Banana Slugs.

The banana slugs are marked as sold out but if you’re interested please message us. They require cold temperatures and we like to ensure they won’t overheat before shipping them out to new homes.

Just a friendly tip for future mantis owners—do not buy your fruit fly culture at the same time as your mantis. It is quite typical for a culture to take upwards of 2 weeks after arriving before it produces a healthy amount of flies. You want to be able to feed your new mantis the same day they arrive. Even if you do get a culture that is already producing flies, they last several weeks, so you don’t have to worry about “wasting it” before your mantis arrives. If you are able to get flies in person, this most likely is not an issue for you. However, many people rely on buying their cultures online. We hope this info can help new mantis keepers out!
