Would you say the sand on the pics is fine enough for it? I always use this sand for burrowers but the grains look big compared to the mantis now.
I can see it is producing mucus, but not enough. He digged a pit deep enough so you cant see it when you look at it horizontally, but the walls are still too flat, so he isn't in a real burrow.
