[QUOTE="crucis, post: 297947, member: 5604"] Just a suggestion, but with a relatively streamlined setup like this (cup, paper towel, perching object/s) you can consider flipping it over so the lid is on the bottom. That could help because 1) The mantis stays at the top most of the time and you won't disturb it as much when you open the lid, 2) Flies go to the top as well and you may find it easier to put them in, and 3) Removing waste material that collects on the towel is easier. The downside is that you'll have to find a way to secure the perching objects so they won't fall out when you open the enclosure.. or reduce their volume and attach them to the lid so they come off with the lid when you open the enclosure. It's totally up to you of course! - I just find the inverted setup often works for me. All the best and have fun! [/QUOTE]
