twix

twix is a ghost mantis. ghost mantids live 8-12 months, are one of the only communal mantis species, and make great pets. like all mantids they eat only live food: fruit flies when they are young and larger insects later. at this stage i feed twix small crickets and other similarly sized insects.

the sex of a mantis is determined by counting the number of abdomen sections once the mantis has gone through its final molt. since twix has one or two molts left, i cannot determine the sex.
