    I got a jar from the flightless fruitfly corp. I just cut a hole on the top of the mesh and put a big piecer of tape on the spacebetween the mesh and the hole on the top of the jar. The FF will all go to the top so all you need to do is open a little corner for one or more to come out then...

    I got some house fly pupae that Hibiscussmile was nice enough to throw in for free, but I have never raised them xD. I'm wondering what do I do with them. Do I just leave them in the vial or something until they emerge? Thanks for any help!

    I got my 4 ghost mantises from Mantisplace.com and they all arrived healthy and alive. Great packaging and fast shipping. Took a day and a half to get here! She answered all of my questions and threw in some free house flies for free! I highly recommend her! 10/10 stars

    What is a good tempurature to get a cold pack for a package of mantises?

    I just ordered some ghost and I requested a cold pack with my order. I did so because it gets over 105 degrees here everyday and I didn't want the babies to fry. The orders usually get delivered to my door so did I make the right choice?
