There's usually one lying around somewhere, but I eventually dispose of them. I did plan on saving them when I first got mantids, but I ended up not bothering. I think the cats probably ate a couple too What about you?With her exuviae visible, I'm curious do you keep your mantid exuviae in a scrapbook, collection, or just dispose of them? Seems everyone deals with exuviae differently.
The cats? See you did something different for sure.I dispose of them. I did plan on saving them when I first got mantids, but I ended up not bothering. I think the cats probably ate a couple too
The scrapbook idea sounds interesting! I'll sometimes take the exuviae out and set it on the side table, it 's disappeared a few times. I assume it was one of the cats.. Unless they knock it off and the dogs eat it lol.. Someone doesThe cats? See you did something different for sure.
While I do save mine, they are in mixed in a large container anymore. I had big plans to similar to what MantidBro did with his scrapbook style with instars and dates, but never found the time.
