    None of my bluebottle pupae are hatching...

    Room temp is best to hatch them, or a little colder.  I have found if I kept mine in my "bug room" they often have trouble hatching fully or their wings get all screwy.  I figured it was due to the heat.  I hatch them in another room that stays room temp or colder now.  I don't worry about it...

    Idolomantis diabolica/feeding red runners

    Mine are raised mostly on flies and red runners, and I will be trying banded crickets here next week (I know, sacrilege!).  They prefer fast moving insects, so flying insects catch their eye the best.  They will eat red runners, but often have trouble catching things on the ground (striking but...

    Do mantises prefer mesh bug screens or plastic surfaces?

    I also use window screening if I am making cages.  Either that or cheese cloth (so cheap in bulk).  For the cups though I have noticed the metal screen isn't as harsh on nymphs, but I still tend to use the poly fiber lids due to needing something that holds in fruit flies, and sometimes house...

    Used Mesh Cages

    I have many used 12 x 12 mesh cages that I just do not have the time to go through and clean.  I buy these in bulk and usually would take a day or so every few weeks  and clean a bunch at a time, but now I just can't spare the time to do this as most of time free time is split between time with...

    Mites in Fruit Flies from Joshfrogs

    Making cultures more often is the best way to prevent or keep mite populations down.  I never see mites in my cultures when I make new ones regularly.  I sometimes see them on the older cultures just before I am done with them, but I do not use flies from older cultures to produce new ones.  I...
