[QUOTE="TheWrongCrowd, post: 343362, member: 12415"] My chinese nymphs have been dying on me, some have reached their second molt while others have been dying right before it. Looks like their hind or fore legs get almost paralyzed. My relative humidity is at around 60% and the temperature is usually around 72°F. They are being housed each in separate plastic containers with ventilation. The top is paper towel. They are feeding off flightless fruit flies, 4 a week per mantis. No signs of mold in the fly cultures or enclosures. 2 light mists a week, making extra sure to wipe away any larger droplets. I had 200 and now I'm down to 20. I have never found chinese mantis L1 nymphs to survive well, any advice? [/QUOTE]
