    House Fly Technique

    Hmm what i usually do with my housefly-eating small mantids is get a common small-mesh net and net the ones outside. Its a lot cheaper and the net can be used to catch butterflies and moths later on. Is there not that many natural flies out there that you can catch? I also used to use fly...

    seemingly UNKNOWN species

    Iris oratoria development variations

    I find this to be normal with mine as well. I have been producing ooths and had many successful breeding with them and i tape the sticks with all the ooths on them to my trees outside so they can hatch into my garden. Every now and then i would go outside and see that some of the eggs hatched a...
