head turns completley black

[Sparky]

It's not quite that simple

For me it was. :lol: I skipped the fact that its head turned black. My mantids grew fungus on their throx, abdomen or legs. All I did was put them near a breezy window and change the lid to something more... airy. They fungus usually goes away in a couple of days.

Bacteria is a similar story, but I don't know if it's as easy to get rid of. I only had a bacteria problem when they're dead.

I think i may of had this onece, its like the top half of the mantis dies yet the legs are still moving properly trying to grip onto stuff :s
