🥊 Astyliasula phyllopus – The Boxing Mantis
 The Astyliasula phyllopus is a small and charming mantis, famous for its boxer-like appearance. It's an ideal species for those looking for a small, yet highly individual, mantis.
 🏠 Recommended terrarium
 A terrarium measuring at least 15 x 15 x 20 cm is sufficient, provided it is well ventilated. Add thin branches and dried or artificial leaves to recreate its natural environment. This species thrives in spaces with fine vegetation and areas where it can climb and rest.
 🌡️ Optimal conditions
 Temperature: 24–28 °C
 Humidity: 60–70 %
 A light mist of the substrate daily maintains proper conditions. Avoid direct watering of the mantis, as it prefers ambient humidity.
 🐛 Varied diet
 Due to its small size, it feeds mainly on small prey such as Drosophila, small flies and young crickets.
 Nymphs: every 1–2 days
 Adults: every 3–4 days
 It is always advisable to offer prey proportional to its size, avoiding overfeeding.
 🔁 Changes
 Like other species, it needs a little more moisture during the shedding season and sturdy branches to hang on. It's essential not to disturb it for 24–48 hours before or after the process.
