[QUOTE="Tenodera, post: 349818, member: 8310"] I see dents in the eyes of the one that died - to me it looks like they must have been damaged when it fell. The blackness might have been hemolymph clotting in the eyes, which understandably is often fatal. The eyes are always that color on the survivor, rather than changing with light levels right? It's hard for me to tell from these photos, but it looks like it has a crescent-shaped line on its left eye which makes me wonder if it also has a mechanical injury. If it does, survival's going to be an uphill battle. Regardless though, that one is at the age where it should be on bigger food than fruit flies. [/QUOTE]
