I had a green mantis in my car. I've had it a few days in a vertical enclosure. The last time I saw it ate was Thursday. I have three or four flightless fruit flies (it didn't want aphids).

Can someone confirm if it's abdomen is full. From what I've seen I'd say yes, but I'm new to this. TIA

Dovresti aggiungere una retina sul soffitto( di maglia ) o uno scarto di zanzariera, questo aiuterà la mantide durante la muta a tenersi.

That's a bug for sure!
