[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 317173, member: 10650"] The misting serves two purposes, to increase the ambient humidity and provide a source of drinking water for the mantis. They will drink from water droplets left on the sides of their enclosure, a fogger will increase humidity but it may not produce enough droplets. If you can figure out how to do both with an automated system go right ahead. You can buy lids that have screen or ready-made polyfiber lids that serve the same purpose as gluing on a coffee filter. It depends on the species' humidity needs which type of lid you should use. If they need more ventilation get a screen or plastic waffle lid, if the mantis needs more humidity or you want to contain fruit flies get polyfiber lids. [/QUOTE]
