I recently bought house flies from joshsfrogs.com but they completely sent me the wrong thing and their help desk has been useless. I'm looking for somewhere to buy house flies but almost everywhere I look is out of stock, (yay.) My Chinese mantis is currently too big for fruit flies, so i was...

How long can you store house fly pupae in the fridge until they no longer become usable? And how do you store them after they "hatch" or whatever it's called with them? I ordered from joshfrogs.com but they sent me the wrong number and the flies were no longer pupae, and I want to know if I put...

I’m using paper towel for the mantis currently, is that bad? I got the cups specifically made for mantises for the bigger ones but I doubt the guy I got them from has small ones

Thank you, I was planning on something like that but it's nice to get another opinion. Do you have any ideas on how to allow the mantis to hang from the top?

Sorry for the bad quality, if I need to take another picture I will

I've taken care of mantises before so I usually know what I'm doing. However, my sister got a mantis today and it's a lot smaller than I anything I've got, so I was wondering if anyone could take a look at the cup we've got it in and tell us if it's okay. I'm pretty certain that it's too small...

Well thank you anyway! I plan on definitely cutting back on the misting for the other one, how often would you say to mist them?

I also attached the images wrong, you'll have to expand my previous comment in order to see the pictures

It has been maybe two weeks since he last molted? He was definitely able to climb up to the top, they both spend most of their time up there and I saw him up there recently. I usually feed them every 3 or 4 days, but if I notice that their abdomen is slightly larger than normal I hold off on...

The first pic is the currently living mantis, the second is the dead one. And, sorry if I wasn't clear, the first time I saw the mantis molt it was on the ground. It survived that molt though, and I'm not sure if it was trying to molt when it died or not. I usually give them about 4 or 5 fruit...

Can someone help me figure out why one of my mantises died?   I ordered a chinese mantis about a month or a month and a half ago, and they sent two. I got them out of the mail and into their setup as soon as possible, they spent almost no time outside. They’re in fruit fly cups, which are good...

I’m getting a chinese mantis and want to know what it’s staple should be, for both young and adult. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting information about crickets. Most sites say they’re okay but everyone on reddit advises against them.    Some redditors have told me mealworms and super worms, but...
