[QUOTE="lancaster1313, post: 142038, member: 4001"] Thanks! :D I have decided to use a net enclosure outdoors that is part shade and part sun throughout the day. I kept worrying about a bird getting it. When it gets big enough to avoid birds then it will be free. I pretty much want to get it through the winter. Unfortunately, on the way home from the store a few minutes ago, I found an injured adult. He was in the road and moving in an abnormal fashion. When I stopped and got out of the car I saw that he had a huge dragonfly in front of him. I took him and his prey home to rest on my porch or die. I saw that he has blood in his mouth. He is strong and can climb and hold on to the trunk of the plant in a normal position. He can also open and close his mouth. I am hoping that it is a minor injury, but it looks bad because he was probably struck by a car. :( :angry: He doesn't appear to be injured in any other place but his mouth. The mouth looks normal to me, except for the blood. That armored head is pretty tough. [/QUOTE]
