i boughtsome fruit fly cultures a few weeks back in preparation for some otheca hatches and young nymphs arriving. two of them were pretty much exhausted, but i bought them for the sheer number of flies which was more useful to me than a young culture as i planned to start some of my own anyway...

this might seem like a strange question but have any of you ever fed first instar mantids by crushing up fruit flies with some water (making a kind of soup) and spraying this into the hatchlings container? i ask because i remember reading about someone doing this either on here but i cant find...

does anybody know what makes mantids hatch out from an ootheca? i guess it depends on species, like for example i have read that eremiaphila oothecas tend to hatch out in the mornings/soon after switching the lamps on. so for example i would assume they wait for a rise in temperature. i have...
