[QUOTE="Velve, post: 309235, member: 10122"] Thanks! The front is acrylic glass with a lock. They work pretty well in groups, though I did lose a L7 female to cannibalism. I think it was more of an accident or unlucky timing, rather than one of them intentionally going for another. The victim was freshly molted, and the aggressor did molt 2 days ago, yet hadn't accepted food yet. I noticed several times before that them waving their legs around after a molt makes others tend to instincitvely grab them, though they have always immediately realized what they caught and let go. I assume something similar happened in that case, but either the Idolo was too hungry to not care, or it didn't see it was another mantis because it was still dark, while the freshly molted one wasn't able to fight back.
