@AlyeskaWolf the big black "pupils" are actually from a condition called eye-rub. It's caused be the mantid rubbing its head/eyes on the enclosure. It's most common with the this species. I don't think it effects their health much, except for maybe a slight deficit in vision. It does make them look like some kind of Japanese cartoon doesn't it!?
@HungryGhost oh wow...thanks for the info i did not know that, Ive raised manti's before but none did that. But yeah, def japanese cartoonish. Aw poor girl, she does look very healthy otherwise, nice fat abdomen.
