[QUOTE="Jesse, post: 190, member: 16"] Your poll does not include "I don't know" I have been keeping mantids for several years and I have had mixed results when it comes to keeping an eye on humidity. For example I am currently breeding S. centralis, I figured since they are in the same genus as lineola, I could keep them the same.(I've had success with lineola at ambient humidity (40-50%) and room temp), well when it came to molting into adults, most of them had deformed wings. So I increased the humidity by putting a dish of water in each of the subadults enclosures, and they were still molting out deformed(66% of them). The temps were 75-77 degrees, but maybe for S. centralis they need to be higher? Sorry if I got a little off topic. [/QUOTE]
