[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 293293, member: 1492"] How do you know the individual mantises are getting more food? In a communal setup mantises always have other mantises so they always have a food source. I suppose an interesting study would be to take a couple dozen nymphs and place them in individual enclosures and feed half of them another mantis in addition to feeders while giving the other group additional feeders in place of the mantis. Outside of this everyone would get the same amount, and then see how everyone turns out size wise. I've never misted heavily in a tank with only a lid for ventilation. Does it usually dry out pretty quick then? Ahh 15-24% just seems really low to me. I don't tend to raise up all nymphs though from most oothecae hatchings though. I usually end up picking out some and releasing the rest when it comes to natives. When I pick ones out to raise up though the survival rate to adulthood is pretty high, although maybe I'm just good at picking out the robust ones. [/QUOTE]
