🌿 Oxyopsis peruviana – The Peruvian Mantis
 The Oxyopsis peruviana is a fascinating mantis, known for its streamlined body and bright green coloration, which allows it to blend seamlessly into the leaves. Its active behavior and elegance make it an ideal specimen for collectors seeking a striking and entertaining mantis.
 🏠 Recommended terrarium
 A terrarium measuring at least 20 x 20 x 25 cm, with good ventilation and fine branches for climbing, is recommended. Adding natural vegetation, such as pothos or ferns, creates a safe environment where they can display their natural behavior and hunt comfortably.
 🌡️ Optimal conditions
 Temperature: 24–28 °C during the day.
 Humidity: 60–70%
 A light mist of the substrate and walls daily maintains adequate humidity. Avoid direct watering of the mantis, which absorbs moisture from the environment.
 🐛 Varied diet
 It accepts small and medium-sized insects such as crickets, flies, and Drosophila. Its hunting is active and entertaining to watch.
 Nymphs: every 1–2 days
 Adults: every 3–4 days
 Offer prey proportional to its size to avoid overfeeding.
 🔁 Changes
 Before moving, slightly increase the humidity and make sure it has sturdy branches to hang on. For 24–48 hours before or after moving, it should not be handled.

 Natural camouflage and bright color make it very attractive in the terrarium.
