I Made a Terrarium For a STUNNING Praying Mantis, Here’s How!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Check out my terrarium making Ebook, It’s perfect for beginners! terrariumdesigns.co.uk/products/ebook

[@abyss7839]

Is there a physical copy coming in the future?

[@katlynlastname1122]

You should make a paludarium focusing on miniature/small leaf plant types

[@lemarcusjackson7988]

Ebook might be the only way i can enjoy the content you make..... as long as you dont narrate it....

[@WorcesterTerrariums]

I love the ingenuity of using picture frame glass!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks mate, I appreciate it!

[@SimilarElk762]

Worcester

[@AwfullyFrosty]

I was able to find picture frame glass replacements at my local hobby lobby for about 1$ cheaper and it doesn't come with the back frame but is 2mm and really cheap! Less cuts, cheap sturdy glass, cant go wrong thanks for this idea!

[@Hannah-CatLady]

May u suggest a video, a day in the life video. Showing you daily routine of maintaining all of you terrariums and how much time it takes

[@greatestmeower]

up!!!!

[@RanEdgar-ok3wk]

Yeaaaaa! Because orchid mantis are endangered so it may discourage people from buying them who don’t know what there doing

[@BadMelody.]

@@RanEdgar-ok3wk They're not endangered, you can literally go on google and order one of these right now.

[@Introverted100]

I like the facial expression of the Mantis in the thumbnail.

[@ItsDrMcQuack]

:3

[@ChainsawMan1989]

There was a face of praying mantis at the thumbnail??

[@amrbinhisam9779]

bende

[@sofiacepeda8442]

Why does this make sense and why do i agree

[@Introverted100]

@sofiacepeda8442 It's a Zen thing 🍻

[@awildpersonappeared]

Both the terrarium and the orchid mantis are absolutely stunning! I think you should name it Ghost for 3 reasons: 1. Its colour (obvs) 2. There's a kind of orchid called a ghost orchid (which is very cool imo) 3. We're nearing spooky season! 👻

[@Do7It]

It's a really good name suggestion ima be honest if I came up with a name it would be much worse 😂

[@mateusznowak1166]

You should make a good air flow with these ones cuz Hymenopus coranatus (orchid mantids) are realy sensitive to mold. This might not be enough

[@RanEdgar-ok3wk]

Boostin this!:0 I’m happy you care! I’m sure this guy cares to! So he probably wants to see this!

[@Do7It]

Amazing video, I have never seen someone who made it so easy to build something themselves, amazing content I hope you get a million subs

[@virusgem6281]

I finally made a terrarium with jungle vibes based on your old video. It was so cool!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks great to hear!😃

[@GoblinsMom]

Oooo the jeweled orchid is stunning! I need one! 💕 🌱

[@RanEdgar-ok3wk]

I think you may reconsider it’s really hard work taking care of a mantis and there endangered in the wild and that’s where they are often taken from and it’s difficult to find a trusted breeder:( there pets but also animals, I’m not gonna tell you what you can or cannot do but I recommend a different species of mantis that are easier and probably a female as there bigger and can’t fly, so be prepared to have a lot of your time dedicated to watching em because they do need to get used to you so holding them around the house is important! ❤ If you want a mantis do your research pleaseeee? /gen This is just informing you of course! Not a hate comment

[@GoblinsMom]

@ I was talking about the plant, not a flower mantis. Where I live, they are everywhere so I really have no desire to keep one as a pet. They just have very short lives and I figure all of their favorite snacks are outside so they can just keep them in check there lol. It’s nice that you care about them, I too can’t stand when someone gets an animal and then googles it! 💕

[@RemmiGraham]

I think when the mantis gets bigger you should put some orchid flowers in there too, so it can blend in to catch prey

[@bar_funplayers1128]

I had an orchid mantis. It died this week. It was a female. 😢. Seeing your small mantis makes me think about the first days i exerienced with mine. I named it Mantismcfly 😅😊

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Sorry to hear that:( that is such a great name!😅

[@RanEdgar-ok3wk]

There resting in peace now! It’s ok:( I’m sorry for your loss tho

[@petrescuework-difficultcas6581]

I would love to own a terrarium built by you. That's just amazing craftsmanship right there

[@curtburkett843]

6:10 had me shook. Had no idea silicone could do that

[@breakinballers]

Great project, and I LOVE the Orchid Mantis. Have had a tattoo of one over a yin/yang for many years.

[@kelleyhawk6595]

I love Orchid Mantis!!!!

[@Tinnerito]

I can't wait to see how this tank ages! You have a talent for nature scaping.💚

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!😃

[@AwkwardBirb]

Omg what a cutie! And what a beautiful home! I think their name should be Vivian ❤

[@ShaphanPhunnyMoJenkins]

Lotus would be a really cool name. The preying mantis color scheme reminds me of The White Lotus group name from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

[@FaunaHabitats]

Perfect timing! I just got a praying mantis. Also, great video!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That’s great! I’m glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@Astara_star]

I'm blown away by your plant and insect knowledge. You create something that's beautiful and functional. Side note... I love your accent, and you have very nice hands 😃 Hi from Australia 🦘

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@Astara_star]

@@TerrariumDesigns I did, I really did 😃 and you're welcome 😃

[@frenchfryapocalypse1155]

What an amazing video! I have a slight fear of praying mantis which I intend to get over. I might get myself a pet mantis, as this video was great inspiration :)

[@ItsKatinasWorld]

I always thought those Springtails were such a nuisance when I would explore forests as a child. But now I see they have such a specific purpose, and once again, I’m in awe of how detailed God is in creation. It was incredible seeing your work come to life! Thank you for sharing 🤎

[@lexidiusBS]

Name suggestion: Blossom

[@Waffles_the_bearded_dragon]

Thanks for explaining how to do the door and make the entire tank! I am making a door for my 1 gallon tank for my jumping spider. Its drying right now so am excited to see if it works! I love your videos so much

[@EarlsFishingAdventures]

I will definitely be trying to build one of these for sure . I think you should call the Mantis Aurora Illumination & Beauty.

[@louisasleight2065]

Can't wait! Getting my terrarium tomorrow and getting it ready for my mantis. You're amazing at what you do.work of are

[@Thisguyiscr4zy]

I currently have 2 of these and they have grown fast! They are also really cute to have. I also have a Ghost Mantis, Timor Shield Mantis, Darth Vader Mantis, Giant Australian Mantis, Spiny Flower Mantis that is now fully grown up! I really suggest the spiny flower mantis as they have a beautiful wing design! 😃

[@BriansGreenStudio]

🌿 Your channel is outstanding! I truly love the creative ideas you present for terrariums. Each video brings a fresh and exciting perspective. You've helped me understand better how to care for plants and create a green space at home. Thank you for these valuable shares! I'm really looking forward to your next videos!

[@Gtn2it]

Petal for name it is so beautiful and delicate looking.

[@Gtn2it]

Oh and gorgeous terrarium 💕

[@Raniphae]

What a beautiful terrarium and lovely little creature to call it home! Another commenter suggested “Arcadia” for the name, which I really love as an idea! I also like other fey-themed names: Sylph, Seelie, maybe even Tinkerbell for a female. Gods and goddesses of hunting or of spring (i.e. sources of flowers) could also be great name sources, once the mantis is old enough to know which gender to use!

[@MikeSchlenz]

Just amazing creativity and biological knowledge

[@mrviplays2457]

Wow! I made my own terrarium in which i used your videos as a guide and I also put my orchid mantis named Scyther (inspired by the Pokemon creature, i like to think of it as a super rare shiny Pokemon) in there. She is doing very well and has made it too adulthood. I would just like to thank you for inspiring me in making my own terrarium and it has brought me a lot of joy. A cool name for your mantis other Scyther is maybe Blossom (just like blossoming flower)

[@themantisgarden]

Great terrarium for an orchid, mate. There are quite a few other mantis that would appreciate this level of humidity as well!

[@AQUASCAPEDRE4M]

Stunning work, super informational and very easy to follow! Love the idea of using picture frame glass- genius 🔥 ❤

[@jessica_in_japan]

That tiny mantis is super cute! I saw a single one of those jewel orchids (or something very similar - dark green leaves with almost neon yellow veins) at a local flower shop a couple years ago and I was so tempted to buy it because those leaves are so gorgeous, but I decided not to in the end since most of my plants always end up dying. Haven't been seen another one since then.

[@smoothtwink69]

orchid mantises are so rare in the hobby nowadays. theyre so sought after and quite overcharged ahaha

[@ausfrogs]

cannot wait to see it in bloom!!

[@so_qp]

Orchid Mantis looks really cute. I'd name it Daisy 🥰

[@Minegamer5793]

Orchid mantises are my favourite mantis

[@ShakalakaKing]

This was super neat. Cool stuff!~

[@cubanmama4564]

I love it! I am planning a similar terrarium for an orchid mantis I hope secure in 6 months. This video is awesome! Thank you! I grow orchids. My grandmother named me Orquidia, after her orchids. I am naming my mantis Orchidee (the French name for Orchid).

[@patsyskinner328]

This is an amazing build I hope this terrarium last a very long time.

[@Alicewatcheseverything]

This is so impressive, you’re an inspiration

[@МаринаА-ъ8ч]

Орхидейный богомол - красавчик! И вы сделали для него замечательный дом! ❤

[@ThatRandom2f]

Blossom for the name!!

[@Rene974]

Wow! So relaxing to watch you create this amazing terrarium. New subscriber.

[@Cliffless]

Lil dude looks like an Angel to me

[@JJLewin1]

Beautiful design, well done

[@green_oasis]

My type of tank. Thanks for sharing

[@wheelchair_charlie]

if its female = Olivia, male = Oliver the Orchid Mantis! 👍😀Great video thx!

[@WendyWright-gs1nz]

Thank you, so interesting!

[@Martin_WDSK]

Such a great work.. I love the mantis, such a cutie! :D Im currently on my second enclosed terrarium in a jar. The first one died out because I have put it in a direct sunlight. I hope the second one will survive much longer :)

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I made the same mistake on my first one:( it’s all about learning 😃

[@BridgetRasmussen-t6n]

i think the name blossom would be great!

[@asmr_evaa]

Such a beautiful build. Can I ask what kind of lighting do you use so the plants thrive like that?

[@ErdriedDeirdre]

The orchid mantis is so cute! I love those little guys, they're so tiny! Is it going to grow much bigger than that? I know they live on tropical flowers in the wild.

[@luketargett2233]

great video, really enjoyed it

[@laceymoriah]

Can you do a terrarium room tour? You and Tanner Serpa should do scape competition.

[@Coaster_Creations_17]

As Homemade Ecosystems would say, Bob would be the perfect name

[@martins2657]

Wow, beautiful build. I must sub without hesitating :-)

[@silvanravenhorst7704]

i love this video so much!!

[@XxRickelecxX]

Exciting!

[@dodorik7114]

beautiful!

[@thelilgreenhouse]

You make such amazing videos 😎👌🏻

[@hebertaugustotenoriocasas9126]

Wow!!!!!!👏👏👏

[@tjhenry5139]

Awesome video! What a sick build for a mantis! I am inspired!

[@neelix3821]

Ghost is a good name😊

[@ksubswithnovideos-hy2sd]

arcadia is a nice name

[@tribex11]

Awesome vid as usual and gorgeous looking end result. Do you have plans for this specific viv? Would love to know the measurements, I've even managed to find these exact frames

[@EfzoEzi]

Orchidna for the name

[@londoeblack]

Three thumbs up! Great video. Thanks! New subscriber!

[@aieonnam]

Make one also for jumping spider

[@secksysequin2580]

But if you do, please don't put a picture of it in the thumbnail.

[@Hannah-CatLady]

Aww the mantis is so cute! I think they name should be Viola

[@mossydreamz]

the door hang, WOW

[@MrLMFAOkicks]

Absolutely stunning setup! I’ve looked around and cannot find a place to get an orchid mantis, where would you or anyone recommend?

[@simoney890]

Hi, do you think this kind of terrarium would be good (maybe making it a bit bigger) for a stick insect? and maybe to keep the humidity level i can add a nebulizer with a humidity sensor

[@carrionlozano1991]

Que genial amigo, cuales son las medidas?, le agradezco.

[@danesmith4227]

So peaceful to watch that amazing creation. What about Luna as her name?

[@Aiddertot]

S/he’s beautiful!! For some reason I’m thinking Petunia as a name LOL

[@davidewing3438]

I checked and scapes link you gave and their not online?

[@JeffCrawford-q9r]

Hey, just subscribed. You should make a vid for the plants you use.

[@markymark631]

Love the set up. Wish I had a green thumb to give it a go. I struggle to keep any plants alive. Mantis name....White Widow?

[@The-Yak-Man]

So for a build like this, how often are you opening it and misting it down? And what kind of light regimen is it?

[@SAd-qz7xf]

Hey man that’s an awesome video. I’ve recently been considering cheap alternatives to getting glass for these types of projects. Any shot you could link the glass or brand you used for this?

[@oliverforde1115]

How do you plan on heating this? or is the room warm enough because I would like to make one but am unsure how the plants would do with a heat mat

[@tedman5465]

I think Gimbus is a great name for the little guy

[@adrianridley4387]

Hello, I'm building my first terrarium in a large, old, pyrex vessel from a dairy. It's a great container but is deep. Please can you tell me what the mister you use is with a long nozzle.

[@videogamesarefun78]

NICE

[@connorbooth7245]

I have a question for a shrimp aquarium? Is it ok to keep two cherry shrimp and if so can they both be males. And if not what would be a good shrimp to have that doesn’t reproduce mich

[@darkprincess1918]

Hello, great video and terrarium. Do you mind sharing where you purchased the mantis?

[@triggericed8666]

Could you put a like for the glass you used please... struggling to find the right ones ... love the videos btw I'm going to try my 1st attempt at making one... but not with the mantis

[@jamiecoulson5635]

love the video. where do you get the frames from and at what cost?

[@Gwenivyre]

Name suggestion - bloom

[@terrapeutic]

I would name the mantis, Orchy! ❤

[@AmienPhillips]

Great build! Out of interest what are the dimensions of the glass tank?

[@TheDanielChilds]

Name suggestion: Petal

[@overlord1823]

Beutifull video! What webcam do you use ?

[@sendmorerum8241]

When you get a thumbnail-sized mantis and finally have an excuse to build a whole ass new terrarium

[@GirLee316]

I think Ollie would be a cute name! Is it true Orchid Mantis only live 6-9months or so? I've heard they don't live longer than a year.

[@Triton71]

Where does one obtain these springtails? I've tried different sources, my local pet store doesn't even know what they are! I'm in Canada.

[@Lip_plantddiction]

Really beautyfull
