These are the cutiest thing I ever saw. They are just darling. Righht now they are small nymphs, Requires hot dry environment. I mist once a week lightly and they all bend down to drink.The desert mantis like most mantis are able to camouflage themselves that they are hard to see and make it fun to have your friends find them. . They molt and lay ooths in the sand they are not climbers like most mantis and prefer the ground .  I have them in the lighted aquarium and they do fine in there. MYSTERYMANTIS@GMAIL.COM
