The American common flower mantis (Creobroter vulgaris) is a species of mantis, most closely related to the jeweled flower mantis (Creobroter gemmatus), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America and South America to help boost biodiversity. Males grow to about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) and females are slightly larger. They prefer a humid and semi-humid environments and live about 2 years in captivity. Females can be cannibalistic but males are fairly communal. Though infrequent, cannibalism among American common flower mantises is nevertheless more common than among other flower mantises. They moult 8 times to become an adult and can take between 2 and 5 months to mature depending on food and temperature. The species is able to hunt prey larger than itself, attacking and chasing its prey, which primarily consists of cockroaches, beetles, and flying insects. They are some of the the smallest yet most widespread Creobroter species, with males that reach about 3 centimeters in length; females are about 4 centimeters. They make easy pets with proper care and it is said there is a 90% survival rate among nymphs. The conservation status of the American common flower mantis is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American common flower mantis's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
