He/she went from a brown to a bright blue/green! You can clearly see the dots on the forearms tho!

I also have tons growing around Pittsburgh :)

Sorry for the delayed response, but I misted her twice a day and she got most of the exoskeleton off. Two hind legs just has a little bit attached. <_<

:blink: Been misting....nothing so far! Snipping seems so mean! :(

My Giant Asian Mantis shed a few days ago, but it looks like she is unable to get rid of the shed completely. Her two hind legs are stuck in the old shed. What do I do?!?! :o

Went to the reptile show yesterday and got a big bag for $5! Also, my FF's are finally becoming adults! Sure takes LONG! :rolleyes: I should probably start another batch now!

Good question! I am seeing the same thing and would like to know the answer too!

Oh, I just scrounged up my supplies...didn't order from there. :unsure:

LOL the tequila might help! You never know! ;) If not the flies then at least your eyes...you'll start seeing double and think there is more :lol: Where did you get the grassy stuff?

Mine laid eggs...wonder if they just got old? Although I had some new adults? I should just buy the stuff they sell for the labs instead!

I put wine in mine cuz well...these little buggars like rotting stuff and figured they'd like that! Plus old wine turns into vinegar :) Good luck with yours Ghostie! I just noticed all my flying adults are dead? Not sure what is going on there. The larvae and pupae LOVE the cotton ball I used...

Don't think you need the milk powder. I had some so I thought I'd use it! As for the yeast...from what I have read it is one of the main ingredients? I never did use honey or applesauce.

It's a SmartWater bottle...pretty tall and narrow. The other thread on how to grow these guys said to fill it 1/3 of the way, so that's what I did! :)

Adults. Had about 8 in there. :)
