[QUOTE="FeistyMcGrudle, post: 331549, member: 11169"] A little late to the game, but my male ghosts are the same. I was under the impression that they will only eat a handful of flies in their adult lifespan, but they both take flies quite readily. Granted, they don't eat nearly as much as the females, but I have found what seems to be a trade-off; adult females eat, while adult males drink. I have yet to witness my females drink when I spray their enclosures, but the males go absolutely nuts when I spray theirs. I haven't been in the hobby for long, but none of my other mantises drink as voraciously when I spray their enclosures-- the only species close are my orchid nymphs. Are your males still alive? Great pics btw! [/QUOTE]
