[QUOTE="Rick, post: 288792, member: 13"] I wouldn't worry too much about overfeeding. A mantis will not burst and knows when to stop eating. I typically feed gravid females daily. My suggestion is to keep a plump abdomen somewhere between looking like it is going to burst and flat. The dark bands you see are normal. Right before the final molt wings buds become very swollen and won't be laying flat. You will know. [/QUOTE]
