I caught a mantis in our backyard and I named him Randall. I can feed him with the 30000 grasshoppers in our yard where I found him. I really like Randall but grasshoppers are really hard to catch and idk if I can stand putting them to their deaths in his jar :( but this could be the first time I actually have a chance to care for a bug. I've always been interested in them :>

They stayed alive for an entire week before curling into little balls and dying because I forgot to water them.

You need to mist their container with water from a spray bottle every other day or so. While you can feed them with grasshoppers, wild-caught grasshoppers are risky since they can have parasites that kill the mantis. Ideally, you should feed them flies or moths. If you leave lights shining on the walls on the outside of your house you should be able to catch moths easily a little after dark.
i wish my mom didnt make me put him back crui
i even gave him food
