Live arrival guarantee: Most breeders include a live arrival guarantee (LAG) with overnight or 2-day shipping. Check individual seller shipping policies before ordering. Live insects are temperature-sensitive — avoid ordering during extreme heat or cold.

Buying tips

Look for L3-L4 nymphs as they're past the fragile early stages but still young enough to enjoy for months. Buy from reputable breeders who can sex the mantis if you have a preference (females are larger and live longer). Expect to pay $29-50, and be prepared for frequent sell-outs due to high demand.
