So I had some sheild nymphs in a net cage and when big enough this last week I moved them to their own containers.
Yesterday when coming from the Bugatorium I noticed the folded cage looked to have a sheild mantis inside the panels.
i thought no, that can't be, it's just a shadow of some poop or something squished on the netting. Well sure enough I picked
it up ad lo and behold there was a little sheild the size of a dime in there. I felt really bad that I missed it, and thought it must
of been on the green cloth that ties the pieces together. I took it out and put in a container with a leaf for him to hold onto as
he seemed weak. He did not want flies or water, so I brought it into the house and put in the bathroom where it is warmer. Over
night I thought it will either die or molt. I got up this am and it molted. He looks fine! Really happy girl.
