Is this enough ventilation?

Im setting up a food storage tub for my 1st mantis in many years. ive made the entire top from fine wire screening. Will this be enough, or should I consider adding some mesh to the sides?

What species ? I usually have some airflow across for older mantids, varying from a few holes to some panels removed.

If you were to buy Daermons Jades (very similar to Giant Asian), they are tiny at the moment and would be in just a small cup with ventilation on top. Later they would probably like a bit of air through flow though and would also be ok with just a well ventilated lid, but he could advise how he keeps them.
