Hey all... 

Concensus. L4 nymphs with an abundance of hydei in their jars, to hunt freely. 

How much is too much? 

Is this what flopping abdomens look like? 

Thanks!

Babies always tend to carry abdomens high until they get wings. Droop Butt is something to watch for tho in the later instars. The abdomen folds at a 90 degree (right behind the last set of legs) angle torwards the ground and can be fatal.
