Apparently the males stay lean & mean so they can fly around and find the females. It's frustrating that they don't eat more, at least to me.

I just offered a green stink bug to a hungry adult female Creo and even though she really wanted it, she couldn't keep a grip on it. When she had it gripped she bit it everywhere she could, even the head, and she never disabled it enough that it died or didn't slip out of her claws. She gave up...

Cilnias are so cool... DO WANT! :)

If you have an image editing program, just make a square picture about 200x200 pixels, save it, upload it to a hosting site like photobucket, get the address of your image (starts with http: and ends with .jpg), and then paste that into the avatar address window of your account here. Hope this...

My last Creo. to mature quit eating for 5-6 days and was in 'pre-molting mode' for 4 days before she finally got around to doing it. :) Worth the wait, she's healthy and intact.

Greetings - lots of great info here!

Greetings Bryce! :)
