[QUOTE="minomantis, post: 252129, member: 6680"] Check if the dead ones have heads because I've noticed with chinese mantids they will sometimes just eat the heads and drop the rest of the body on the bottom. But maybe you're culprit is ventilation still? Mold likes damp places so maybe there needs to be more air flow. If I were you I would get some styrofoam cups, fold up a paper towel and place it at the bottom and dampen it with water, use a toothpick and poke holes all around it and you can use saran wrap for the top and use a rubber band to keep it in place. Nice cheap way to keep them safe and alive. You can improvise with this or create your own but something along the lines would be good for you I think. That's what I do and it works nicely! [/QUOTE]
