Does anyone know the nutritional value of these? They're all over the place. You can find them anywhere there's grass.

I bought some with the intention of trying it as an alternative to moss. Has anyone tried it with their mantids? How has it worked?

Dear old Ofelia got stung right in the kisser while trying to much on a bumblebee. What what will happen and what can be done to help eliminate any problems? All I can see that happened is that there's some clear liquid oozing out of her mouth.

Well, this time it wasn't moulting. I noticed a few days ago that this one had sort of a dark color forming in the anterior of her thorax. I figured it was just color shifting as this is the first time I've raised this species. Well, yesterday I checked on her and she seemed fine, but today...

So I'm out of fruit flies. I have some on the way, but I didn't expect to have this problem since I placed an order for pinheads. Well I got 1/4 inch mealworms instead so I have a problem. What are some good emergency foods.

At what point do the little guys start playing natural selection with each other. Or for that matter when do they start getting an appetite.

I have a slight dilema. I ordered some fruit flies for my H. grandis ooth that I expect to hatch in about two weeks. Just wanted to make sure I had a good head start in case anything went wrong. Well I poured about 40 into the medium cup and left them to do what they do best. Today I go to...

Any suggested methods. I'm planning on hatching them in a regular 6in 3in bug cage.

Name's Will. I've recently been preparing to start keeping some more exotic species. See you guys around the forum.
