Ghost Mantis L2 Feeding

[Wildworldnick]

Hey!

Quick Question: If my ghost L2 is actively moving around but ignoring food completely, even as it walks in front of him, should I remove it? 

Regards

You can. Just in case it disturbs him during molt.

Ok

Thanks very much Hysteresis!

Out of curiosity, whats the maximum amount of time a L2 can go without food?

I feed mine every 2 days. Mine are kept communally at that instar so its hard to tell who's eating and who isn't. More a question of how much it ate the last time. i would think they would dehydrate before starving. Id think ghosts could go several days without food. Ive had young nymphs go 5 days in transit before and be just fine.
