From a very young age, Moisés Paredes had a great fascination with insects. Through in-depth study, he connected with the unique lives of these exotic animals. Many years ago, Moisés suffered a serious accident, which led to a deep depression. During this difficult period of recovery, he met someone who bred mantises. This reinforced his determination to turn his passion—collecting and breeding mantises and other insects—into a way of life. Over time, his dream transformed into a solid business called Team Peruvian Mantis. Moisés, the group's founder, teaches about the value of these insects in the ecosystem and their sustainable breeding practices. He and his team maintain a mini-zoo at his home. This space houses a wide variety of mantises and other fascinating insects. This brings him great satisfaction, as it allows people to learn about these valuable creatures. Thanks to Moisés's perseverance and that of the Team Peruvian Mantis group, more people have joined the responsible insect collecting community. The conservation of these species is a crucial factor in these times, where the destruction of nature is extremely constant. Postscript: Moisés has several tattoos that represent the meaning of his perseverance throughout the time he has been building his project. A praying mantis climbing a leaf symbolizes perseverance over these years. He believed in himself, but he also remembers the words of encouragement from a special person, for which he feels very grateful and blessed.
