## What is Mantis Keeper?

Note: Mantis Keeper is based on real experience of breeders like WeeMantis and MichiganMantisGuy

This game brings you the insight into the mantis life. You will have to raise different mantis species which you can later breed or even release to their natural habitat.

The main goal in this game is to save all species. Current global population of each mantis spiece is extinct. In the beginning, you will obtain your first egg case and subsequently, your first little mantids. 

You have three choices to choose from. You can keep some of them, sell them or either release them. By releasing you will see that the world population is slowly rising and with your constant contribution, you will reach the status of Species Saved.

Other than that, you will have to clean your vivariums to keep your mantids happy and prevent them from getting sick (if your mantis will get sick, you will have to heal it). Different mantis instars (or levels) require different feeder size so bear that in mind.

Feeders are flies which you will have to catch! But pay attention to the bait you provide. Different baits attract different flies.

Once your mantis reached the adulthood, you can breed them which is a way how to obtain offsprings. 

Different mantis species can be bought on market, however, to enter market you have to have a ticket.
