Funny thing, my uncle used to raise and sell them (I’m from Malaysia). He gave me two Orchid mantises (the one pictured) and one that looked like a broken leaf and I had them as pets for quite awhile. I had to catch flies or moths (not too hard, since I had a large garden) to feed it and every other week or so they would molt and “level up.”
It was pretty awesome, especially when they grew wings and started flying after their food.
