[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 285155, member: 8168"] Sorry to hear that, sounds like the mix was too moist maybe. I try to make my ventilation about 50% of the lid or so and it seems to work. As mentioned the bottom has aluminum mesh and the top is covered in organza fabric. The aluminum keeps the larger waxworms and moths from eating through, and the organza fabric traps the tiny waxworms so they can not escape either (and fruit flies can't enter either). Here is a photo of the container during the construction. I have many others so if your curious ask - I will make a diy for it once I have time to sit and put it together and edit all the photos. ;) [IMG]http://www.mantisbugshop.com/images/Insects/Cultures/ww66tank2.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
