[QUOTE="1stmantidman, post: 297525, member: 9422"] Not needed :D (for now). A grasshopper was a bit too fast and healthy for her right now. I wanted to test her abilities by herself. Jumping legs still attached in all. The grasshopper was just too active to chase down, so I removed it and placed the largest cricket I keep out of my current 7 in with her. She has adopted a new tactic, I call it the "baby steps stalk". :lol: I would try to watch, but her 'patience is key, play it smart with injuries' deal was taking a little while. I went to the kitchen and back, after sweeping the floor. She had already removed the crickets head and was holding it in one arm, and starting on the insides of the body with the other arm. She has also started using the less damaged back leg to grip more. It almost looks like it's in the correct position when she holds it like this. The wings on this side of the leg have also sorted themselves out. They are almost completely flush up against the body like they are supposed to be. It is just now the opposite side with the leg that has a decent curve to it, and the corresponding wings which are not covering the body and almost curled inward almost like a paper towel roll.
