Creobroter spec. Yunnan

Creobroter spec. Yunnan is a small mantid species. The Creobroter genus is one of the absolute classics of flower mantids in the hobby and is one of the most popular species ever. The Yunnan flower mantis has the characteristic, smiley-like markings on its cover wings.

Males can easily be kept together in groups. If there is plenty of space, couples can also be kept together. When keeping them in groups, it is important to ensure there is a lot of structure and enough food. Cannibalism can never be ruled out!

Like most flowering mantids, Creobroter spec Yunnan is also specialized in feeding insects that can fly. Cockroaches are the exception! Banana cockroaches and pale cockroaches in particular are ideal as a food alternative.
