Will this plant support a mantis?

I am thinking of including this in a peacock mantis enclosure and was wondering if it would support one
I am going to put also twigs and such, I will snip the broken parts of the leaves

While I've never owned them, the mantis's I've held have not been very heavy. And those are larger than peacock mantis's. I would believe that plant could hold them, but if anyone would like to correct me please do

Thankyou very much for this

Last summer i had a wild mantis living like 2 months on a similar plant in my garden, your plant looks to have softer leaves than the plant she was on but I think it should work anyways too.

The plant in the first picture is a spider plant and the one in sasha99's is Yucca elephantipes. Your spider plant would probably thrive in a viv, but I think it would bow under the weight of a mantis. If you're looking for something to live for the mantis to climb on, try looking into Coleus, Hypoestes, Pachira, or Ficus benjamina. They are all very easy to come by and can be found in most garden centers or plant stores and are better suited for mantis perches.
