[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 295991, member: 8168"] Best of luck with that, she seems to tolerate it but I doubt would help. ;) So far I can only get my younger nieces and nephews interested in bugs, to attempt searching for them. Yes, the mantids are likely sub-adult (one molt left) or mostly adults now (I have some Carolina mantids (Stagmomantis carolina) holding out in my area, but the majority are adults). If you want to raise nymphs, wait another few weeks for the females to have mated (likely never guaranteed) - then your have plenty of little ones to keep you busy over the winter (unless you diapause the ooths till spring (like in nature)). Thanks, I kept as simple as I could as I can ramble on - after all mantids are a topic I like to talk about. :D [/QUOTE]
