My saga with the H. major nymphs continues. All got moved to their individual deli cups, and seem to be feeding - insofar as I can tell. I'd like to hear from people who've actually bred this species. Again, they seem particularly highly strung, and during the daytime, "punch" the melanogaster ffs away rather than feeding on them...but in the morning, at least some of the flies are gone and nymph's abdomens look full. So my question is this: is there any possibility that these guys feed only at night?

These giant boxer mantises are strange beasts...

Any insights much appreciated.
