      I was able to find picture frame glass replacements at my local hobby lobby for about 1$ cheaper and it doesn't come with the back frame but is 2mm and really cheap! Less cuts, cheap sturdy glass, cant go wrong thanks for this idea!

    Both the terrarium and the orchid mantis are absolutely stunning! I think you should name it Ghost for 3 reasons:
    1. Its colour (obvs)
    2. There's a kind of orchid called a ghost orchid (which is very cool imo)
    3. We're nearing spooky season! 👻

      I think you may reconsider it’s really hard work taking care of a mantis and there endangered in the wild and that’s where they are often taken from and it’s difficult to find a trusted breeder:( there pets but also animals, I’m not gonna tell you what you can or cannot do but I recommend a different species of mantis that are easier and probably a female as there bigger and can’t fly, so be prepared to have a lot of your time dedicated to watching em because they do need to get used to you so holding them around the house is important! ❤
      If you want a mantis do your research pleaseeee? /gen
      This is just informing you of course! Not a hate comment

      @GoblinsMom Месяц назад +2

      @ I was talking about the plant, not a flower mantis.
      Where I live, they are everywhere so I really have no desire to keep one as a pet. They just have very short lives and I figure all of their favorite snacks are outside so they can just keep them in check there lol. It’s nice that you care about them, I too can’t stand when someone gets an animal and then googles it! 💕

    I would just like to thank you for inspiring me in making my own terrarium and it has brought me a lot of joy.
    A cool name for your mantis other Scyther is maybe Blossom (just like blossoming flower)

    I also like other fey-themed names: Sylph, Seelie, maybe even Tinkerbell for a female.
    Gods and goddesses of hunting or of spring (i.e. sources of flowers) could also be great name sources, once the mantis is old enough to know which gender to use!

I saw a single one of those jewel orchids (or something very similar - dark green leaves with almost neon yellow veins) at a local flower shop a couple years ago and I was so tempted to buy it because those leaves are so gorgeous, but I decided not to in the end since most of my plants always end up dying. Haven't been seen another one since then.
