[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 161281, member: 2509"] I'm with Rebecca on this. Although low humidity is sometimes cited as a cause for egg bound femals, Doug recently reported that the first egg bound female that he had was a S. limbata, and I know from experience that in October it is not rare to have a maximum humidity of 20% RH in this area where they abound but I have never found a wild, egg bound female (what's yr experience with WC S carolina, Rick?). What they don't get in the wild, though, is a surfeit of food and I suspect that this is a cause of egg bound mantids whose condition is sometimes cured by starvation. [/QUOTE]
