 🏠 Recommended terrarium
 A terrarium measuring at least 25 x 25 x 35 cm (10 x 10 x 14 inches) is recommended, with good ventilation and sturdy branches for climbing and hanging. Natural vegetation, such as ficus or ferns, provides a secure and stimulating environment where the bird can display its natural behavior.
 🌡️ Optimal conditions
 Temperature: 24–30 °C during the day, 22–24 °C at night
 Humidity: 60–75%
 Lightly mist the substrate and walls daily to maintain adequate humidity. Avoid direct watering of the mantis, which prefers to absorb moisture from the environment.
 🐛 Varied diet
 It accepts crickets, cockroaches, moths, and other appropriately sized insects. Its active and agile hunting is very entertaining to watch.
 Nymphs: every 1–2 days
 Adults: every 3–4 days
 Offer prey proportionate to its size to avoid overfeeding.
