About Fatal Mantis
The Fatal Mantis shop is a dedicated praying mantis store, focusing on offering a large variety of species and invertebrate supplies. We are mostly an online shop but do have a storefront in Houston Texas for local pickups.
Fatal Mantis started off small with only 8 ghost mantis, but we have expanded to currently keep over 500 mantids of 10+ species with much more room to grow.

Why must mantis shipping next day
-
We recommend using Overnight Air to ensure live arrival. Shipping can be stressful and hard on an insect. Shorter shipping reduce these and helps to make sure your mantis comes in good condition. Other shipping is available but use it at your own risk
When will this species be in stock?
-
It takes time for each species to mature to adult and for eggs to hatch. For some species it can take nearly a year to mature. We only sell nymphs we breed. Once their ootheca hatch and they have their first molt, they will be available to purchase. Some Species can take a year to go from hatching to ootheca production
