You will only get females from parthenogenisis, just an FYI.

You can lightly mist them, don’t spray directly though...

Yes they are.

This is the best I could find. https://www.mantidsandmore.com/product/tarachodula-pantherina/

Oh yeah!

If they get too wet the eggs will mold.

Not true. Miomantis sp are also capable of parthogenisis. I’ve also heard of Stagmomantis doing it. Thesprotia graminis is also 100% parthogenic.

Hornworms would probably work because of their water content. Maybe not as a consecutive food but for a short while yeah. Pretty sure the food the caterpillars come with has toxins in it.

Snails have mucus that can stick a mantis to the walls of the enclosure/drown it or cause it to lose blood flow in a body part rendering it useless. They also can carry bacteria and a mantis will eat just about anything it can grab that moves so it’s just a obvious no to keeping them communal.

Be careful with humidity and feeders. Especially as nymphs they are very very sensitive. Keep plenty of ventilation, and keep feeders clean with clean food. Glad to see you coming back man!

They said mealworms.

It won’t bulge. I mean you can’t see the internal development at all. Sometimes you can shine a light through the ooth to see the developing nymphs.

Whenever they are thin. I have told you this multiple times. I’ve personally seen european mantid’s appetites so I understand why you thought you needed to feed them every day. Just be careful, they will eat themselves to death..

Not really.

They pretty much died out in the last year or two.

Remove the isopods and completely dry out the enclosure. Check all isopods for mites before adding to a new enclosure. Once you have them they are nearly impossible to get rid of. They won’t do anything to the isopods but they can be irritating in large quantities toy what isopods.

I have to take an hour drive just to see it pre-fallen. You guys are lucky.

Lucky you guys even have snow. We have the occasional shower and maybe a night below 50° here in Cali.

Can I see the last segments? In the blurrier ones there looked to be smaller segments at the end.
