[QUOTE="Gom, post: 346362, member: 12571"] Hi all, After our ghost mantises last year, my lab got [I]Hierodula venosa[/I] to keep this year, and have run into a troubling trend. One out of 5 has successfully molted to 6th instar (about two weeks ago), but two others have died while molting to 6th instar (within the last two days). The last two have not yet reached 6th instar. We are keeping them at ambient temperature and humidity, in NYC, which seems to fall within the recommended environmental conditions for this species. Any help or insight appreciated! We would really love for the remaining two to survive, and also avoid unnecessary risk for future molts. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
