[QUOTE="Velve, post: 309237, member: 10122"] I know of another keeper who lost an Idolomantis to cannibalism because of a molt. It's quite odd. I got them all at L2/L3 on June 26th. I initially ordered 9. One died because of a mismolt during shipping. Another one dropped dead a day after arriving for seemingly no reason, it even still ate some hours before. The third was cannibalism. Now I'm left with 2 males and 4 females, of which a pair is adult and the rest still sub. I expected losses, so I'm not too bothered by it. Overall I'd say it went quite well raising them. The growth speed of the individuals started to vary a lot past L5. The second male molted subadult after the first one was already adult, for instance. [/QUOTE]
