US student makes mini apartments for her praying mantises with TINY BONGS and SMALL POSTERS

This art student has created detailed mini apartments for her three praying mantises to live in featuring mini posters, tint fake bongs and a Henri Mant-isse painting.

Amy Igri, 23, began caring for the insects after receiving a call to action from a college friend after a Californian mantis landed on her window.

She took it in and, after naming her Rosacea, Amy researched how to take care of the insect and found a huge community of hobbyists online with a wealth of information.

The idea for her mini-mantis apartment came from her years as an art student, taking inspiration from dollhouses, online apartment tours and her own college housing experiences.

Amy, from Florida, who is studying at Pomona College in Claremont, CA, said: “Raising and caring for praying mantises isn’t seen as very ‘glam’ online.
