World Alive's Praying Mantis Kit gives you a fascinating and up close view into one of nature's most intriguing insects - the Praying Mantis or Praying Mantid. Often misspelled as the "Preying Mantis", which is logical due to the predatory habits of this large insect, the mantis is in fact named after its prayer-like stature.
The World Alive kit is a fantastic way to spend some time with your very own Praying Mantis, either in your home or in your classroom.
This complete Praying Mantis Kit includes a net habitat (11 x 11 x 10"), tweezers, instruction booklet (English, Spanish, French), feeding pipette, & magnifying glass. Raising your own Praying Mantis is a fascinating view into the world of insects, with their complex life cycles and fascinating social structures. IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION: Kit does not include eggs, which must be purchased separately. Ordering information is included. Eggs are shipped only between the months of December and June. Egg orders received outside that period will be held until eggs are available. Praying Mantis normally live from one spring until the next fall, or 4-6 months.
