Giraffes cannot survive without water
I have had a praying mantis since October 2010. In January 2011 the praying mantis is still with us. Although she has slowed alot over these past few months she continues to eat well. I have been feeding her lunch meat, turkey, ham, roast beef, chicken, bologna and scrambles eggs. Recently she hasn't seemed to be able to chew the solid food as she had so I am now feeding her meat based baby food. She take water from a baby spoon.
Mist the cage or leave a small dish of it. Don't worry about the mantis drowning - they breathe through holes in their abdomen, so they can safely submerge their entire head while drinking. They also get a part of their water from their prey.
Actually, the reason why a Praying Mantids eye turns black is because it is in need of water, spraying their cage with some water should help, just dont spray directly on the mantis!

Room temperature. Mist them occasionally or use a sponge as a water source in their 1st and 2nd instar. After that, just provide fruit and water gel for the crickets.
Yes. They just need to have some sort of stick in there to climb on and some smaller insects to eat.
A typical praying mantis usually spends its time camouflaged and waiting for insect prey to pass by. Other than that, they mate, drink water droplets, and lay egg-sacks that contain anywhere from 50-200 baby praying mantises. They do not harm humans.
There are no plants nor animals that can survive without water.
Not fruits: Praying Mantis's or Mantids prefer to catch their own food. You can purchase crickets, meal worms, or other insects at many pet stores, or catch flies and release them into the mantis's cage. Their diet is high in protein, so if you have a pet and it is unable to get food on it's own, you may be able to give small amounts of canned (ground) cat food slowly by spoon...nudging it gently towards it's mouth. Water it the same way if unable to fend for its self.
