First make sure that the mantis is free from other animals. Take care of the mantis. Hug with a dragon or another big animal that does not attack the mantis. And then you can calmly give him the deadworm horns

Place a 1x1 wooden foundation, place two walls high on all side but leave one side open. Place 2 pillars where you left it open and lead a ramp on the opposite side for it to walk up and into the box, you can easily slip past the pillars and get out the box trapping the mantis…
