Mantisplace.com was started in 2006 after the business was acquired by Rebecca. She has loved this business for close to 20 years and has cared for an enormous amount of living creatures in that time. She has even trademarked the "Mystery Mantis" and has created a brand and business that continues to have a large customer base.

​

   Now, the business has been passed down to her family to continue her legacy. The name slightly changed to leave off .com and the website continues to slowly be updated, but the great products remain the same!

​

   My name is Lauren and I am the new owner/operator of Mantisplace. Although I knew about the company, I began learning more about the operations and how to care for praying mantids in 2024. After lots of thought, I decided to leave my job so Rebecca could semi-retire, not knowing if I made the right choice. About a week after I quit my job, I broke my leg during a hike with my family. I was able to take that time during my recovery to keep learning about the business and soon took over the beginning of October 2024. And the orders started coming in....and kept coming in...and more kept coming in... I got my answer with every order that continues to be placed. I hope to continue to provide great products and even better customer service! I care about getting you quality products and healthy, happy mantis! Please reach out with any questions or concerns...I try to reply back as quick as possible, but as mom of 3, I hope you can understand that many times I am caught up in "momming" duties! Please allow at least 24 hours for me to respond, but I usually am faster than that. Thank you for choosing to purchase through Mantisplace; your business is so valuable to me :)
