Can nymphs breathe through paper towels?

[Shadow]

As a lid

 

[Vlodek]

Yes

Yes they can.My baby T.sinensis are doing very well with a paper towel top. The only problem I am experiencing is keeping in humidity,so if you use a PT lid be sure to mist at least twice a day or whatever is required for your mantises humidity needs.
