Description

Size/Age:

L2+ nymph

Budwing Mantis (Parasphendale affinis) are extremely understated and easy to care for mantids with beautiful hidden orange markings and an abundance of personality. As you may have guessed, the budwing mantis gets its name from the small, bud-like wings found in females of this species. While “budwings” might look camouflaged under normal circumstances, startle them and they give a surprisingly remarkable deimatic display, (threat display) which is the pose they are most commonly photographed in. These little insects have tiger-striped orange arms and wings, and a ferocious attitude to match.

Parasphendale affinis are aggressive gluttons, and have no extreme care needs, making them a brilliant choice for new keepers. Budwings are extremely ferocious and do not hold back while hunting. These are active hunters, choosing to chase down and launch at prey rather than wait for it to go to them. A very active species, Budwing mantis love exploring their enclosures and having a wander around. They will happily enjoy sitting with you while you relax, and are a brilliant choice for keepers wanting a hands-on species.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail- it’s a priority that your critters are safe & snugly packed.

Ordering pets online can be nerve-wracking, we get it. Our 7-Day live guarantee is our way to ease nerves over the purchasing process.

We’re confident in the quality husbandry, shipping, and packaging of our livestock. On the rare occasion an animal arrives in poor condition, we will provide credit for the cost of that animal. If all animals in the shipment arrive in poor condition, we will also provide credit for the postage.

We try to make it as easy as possible to help any unwell critters, and ensure you can get your money back. There are a couple of steps to go through before a refund can be issued.

If you’ve received an unwell animal in the mail:

1. If it is safe to do so, (your pet is not medically significant or harmful) please remove the animal from its transport container, ideally onto your hand. We ask this as invertebrates, particularly insects, are experts at ‘playing dead’.

2. To provide you with the best advice going forward and to confirm the condition of your pet, we kindly request a short video of the animal in question before your refund can be processed. This can be uploaded on our ‘live guarantee refunds form’, or you can email it straight to us.

We’ll need this information to reach us within 7 days after you’ve received your pet. We cannot provide any live guarantee to animals that have been refused, returned, or not collected.
