    Final molt! AHH! :O

    A few things to know: 1: Plenty of vertical height 2-3x the mantis length. Avoid decoration obstructions that might make PM start their molt on the sides of its enclosure. 2: no feeders in the enclosure... Can provoke a fall; crickets will eat a freshly molted PM as well 3: Do NOT spray the...

    Wasps in Ooth

    They are a nusance but they only eat a few of the unborn nymphs. When they emerge in a net cage, I just vacuum them up. Or crush them. The ooth hatches just fine
