Thanks. That explains it. I'm curious what this year's broods will sound like. The 2021 brood sounded like a martian spaceship or...

The periodical cicada broods are numbered, there's a dozen or so different broods which is why we can have multiple broods emerging only...

Does anyone understand the timing of these emergences? It seems to me we had an emergence fairly recently. 2021, I think? Apparently...

I may end up getting some flies from you in the future Rebecca. Roaches are working for me, but I'm not sure they're the ideal choice...

I put some finely ground pollen or a little powered sugar in a 16oz and knock in however many fruit flies you think you'll need. Swirl...

I think a pooter is the only way to control small quantities. I've been using a regular plastic straw with some mesh (panty hose)...

It never occurred to me to time the reintroduction of feeders. I figure mantises will eat when they're good and ready. That's how it...

I've watched many drink but maybe not the early instars so much since they have to be kept more humid.

I must have missed that. Mine are about 3rd instar now, and I have yet to see them drink.

I've never actually seen one drink. I wonder if the whole drinking thing has been overstated, and they actually get their hydration...

I've never monitored humidity. I've got a piece of paper towel inside the deli cup, which I saturate with water periodically...

I kept all my newborn Chinese mantis nymphs in the same container for quite some time. I'm sure there were significant die offs, but I...

I ordered some fertile Chinese mantis ooths on Amazon recently, and they were quite a bit smaller than an inch and a half.

I heard some AI generated pop songs. They were better than Taylor Swift. Granted, that's setting the bar pretty low.
