Chinese mantid.

It should be mentioned that mantids are the best insect pets ever. For a good time, buy some ootheca (eggs) from an organic gardening supplier, hatch them, and watch in stunned horror as the larvae proceed to eat each other. Eventually there will only be one left. The strongest mantis. The Mantis King.

Repeat this procedure until you have an unstoppable ubermantis army.

Mantids are pretty awesome insect pets, but I've tried the mantis king experiment and they all ended up maiming themselves in the process. ;.;

The Mantis King will be eaten alive by a female mantis while mating. Army over.

I've raised a couple mantids to adults. Compiler (who I was able to hand-tame) and Big Green 1 (who was not tamed). Both were from large swarms, and both were the only survivors.

About 6 months, usually. Maybe more, maybe less, depending on how soon they mate. For various reasons, mating usually results in death shortly after. It might be due to being eaten, but also sometimes the male gets some part ripped out when they're done. Also, laying eggs is VERY hard on the female's body, and doing so usually kills her a little later.

Or they don't lay eggs at all and die from that.
