Hi there!
I recently had a New Zealand mantid ooth hatch. I let most of them go in my yard but kept one to see if i couldnt raise it. I put a leaf with some aphids on it into its jar on the first day and am not really sure if it ate any. Today (a week later) ive had another ototh hatch but i have no idea from what type of mantis! The nymphs came out pink and now, a couple of hours later, are a vary vary dark colour (cant tell what colour). Ive put some aphids and some fruit flies in with these guys too but am worried that i ahvnt seen any actually catch anything yet! Im sure im just being a worry wart but i cant halp it! Can anyone ease my angst?
I'll put up a photo of the new babes as soon as my camera resumes normal functioning!
