Unfortunately he died today. Im not really sure why but I think his insides must have gotten messed up with his legs.

Ok ill try that and hopefully he can molt next time. 

Thats probably what I would do to. Its not worth the risk just in the off chance that they are carrying something harmful that they could give to your mantis

One of my Chinese Mantises mismolted last night. Its to late to try to do anything to fix it but the only things that got messed up are her two back legs so she should still be able to eat fine and she can still move she just kinda crawls a bit but her climbing ability does seem to be a little...

or this Maybe you could put some of the worms in a separate container with some food and see what they turn into but getting some new crickets might be the safest thing to do but I dont think they pose a threat to your pets but then again they may not be clean.

Are there more than one kind of Carpet beetle or some similar pest When I google them some things that look similar to your worms like this one

LoL well that was my best guess.

The more I look at them the more they look like carpet beetle larvae to me but Im probably wrong. 

They look kinda like carpet beetle larva but at the same time they dont...Im not sure what those are but I wouldn't think they would make the crickets unsafe unless they are some kind of parasite but maybe to be safe you could get new crickets or clean them and move them to a different box and...

As long as you still have enough flies to feed with it shouldn't be a problem but poking more holes could help but removing flies when there are a lot in at once will help for sure (just remember you cant release them outside). Generally speaking most people dont need the hundreds of flies that...

I dont think so the ones I found where in Honduras so they probably need a pretty high temperature and humidity (I found then during the rainy season) I dont know where else they can be found but a good chunk of Honduras is heavily plagued by drug cartels(mostly the north) and even in the south...

For moths you might could put sugar water in a bottle cap that might give it something to eat... maybe Im not sure maybe you could put a piece of watermelon in there and see of it eats that or maybe like an apple slice. As for how long it will live a few days unless you can find something to...

Sorry for your loss. Sometimes they just dont make it for no reason it wasn't anything you did they just sometime have defects or other problems that cant be detected.

When a culture has a lot of flies in it CO2 can build up and kill them. If you have a huge wave of flies that die all at once it may have been CO2 but the amount of dead in that picture dosent really look like enough to cause that kind of problem. The best way to prevent CO2 deaths (assuming...

I went to Honduras this summer to build a house and while I was there I climbed to the top of this small mountain and at the top I found some praying mantises. I had been looking around the whole week I was there for cool insects and such and had not found much until I found them. I was...

Its fine to release them I think because they already are all over the place like they said. They cant make it past winter but the eggs do (at least where I live) which is why they have become invasive. I live in North Carolina and 99.9 percent of the time when you find a mantis outside its a...
