[QUOTE="Jesse, post: 14545, member: 16"] One method I use is to put the mantid nursery into the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Sometimes they all look dead and fall to the enclosure floor, but they always "come back to life". It gives me a good 10-20 minute window to get fruitflies into the enclosure, which usually takes a minute or two. By far the easiest method is to just keep a 16oz. size deli-cup fruitfly culture in the mantid enclosure and make sure it has one or more 1/4"-1/2" holes poked into it for the fruitflies to escape into the enclosure. Then all you have to do is mist from time to time until they reach L3 or L4. This works very well for me, but may not work with all species or people. [/QUOTE]
