The Japanese Giant Mantis is the largest mantis species found on mainland Japan, appearing in both green and brown color forms. Its distinctive features include a bright yellow patch at the base of the forelegs and hind wings tinged with purple-brown, giving each individual its own look. Fierce by nature, it strikes at anything that moves with its sharp, raptorial forelegs. The egg case laid in autumn hatches all at once come spring, releasing around 200 tiny nymphs in a striking natural spectacle. Rated beginner-friendly, it's a popular entry point into insect keeping and a classic subject for nature observation.

迎接大螳螂前需要了解的7件事
1Males and Females Differ in Size
Males grow to about 70-90mm while females reach 80-95mm, making females noticeably larger. Adjust the size of the prey you offer as the mantis grows.
2Keep Them Alone
Mantises will cannibalize one another, so housing multiple individuals in the same container leads to fighting. Keep each one in its own enclosure from the nymph stage through adulthood.
3Live Food Is a Must
Since it only reacts to moving prey, you'll need a steady supply of live insects such as crickets. It will not respond to artificial food.
4Provide a Tall Enclosure
When molting, the mantis hangs upside down and stretches out its body, so a tall enclosure with branches to grip is important to have ready.
5Don't Disturb During Molting
An unstable perch or sudden disturbance can cause a failed molt. When you notice signs of molting approaching, keep the surroundings calm and quiet.
6Adults Emerge Aug-Oct
This species completes one generation per year, with adults typically appearing from around August to October. In captivity, females have been known to survive until late December.
7Eggs Hatch Together in Spring
Egg cases laid in autumn overwinter and hatch all at once in spring, releasing around 200 nymphs. It helps to have individual enclosures ready before hatching begins.
