L5 (orig. L4) Miomantis caffra ❤

Lookin good Are you having trouble wrangling the hydei? 

I've gotten fairly good at it now. 

While not a gamer, I have pretty good hand X eye coordination. 

I just lay down the law.  

I use those cups you sent 'em in as preloads. I serve them up quick and lid 'em all fast.

A final chill of those three cups, and I serve.

It sounds like you have got the fruit fly method down, @hysteresis!  

I am glad the nymphs are doing well!

I havent noticed that with binotata or paykulli but these caffra, they all do that. I havent had the others do the stretched out thing so much.

Good then. Do they also lay flat sometimes? One nymph splayed himself flat again, hanging upside down from the top. That was this morning before work.

Could be a premolt grip test to see if he has enough grip to molt...?

Id better stop disturbing them.

If they still have hydei in there tonight, that means they're not eating.

Last ff sprinkle tinkle was Sunday night.

Yeah could be getting ready to molt. When some of them layed flat, at first I thought they needed water or something but they didnt seem interested. They still do it sometimes but are all fine, so maybe they would press up agaisnt a tree or a flat  to blend in more.. I dunno heh

 

[hysteresis]

@Aristalochia right on, thanks!

 

[hysteresis]

Well, they're still eating up the hydei.

And pooping like the savages they are.

Guess i'll throw 15 or so in each jar and let them keep at it. And keep checking in on them daily.

I'd put maybe seven or eight ff in each jar every day, not 15. I hope they molt soon and successfully!

No. I fed them last on Sunday.

That should last them a couple days.

I gave them a days rest Saturday. I didn't add any hydei until the Sunday.

How do I get this topic moved?

Anybody know what the correct protocol to follow is?

Am I dumb for asking? Maybe I've missed something.

TIA

@hysteresis

They are keeping you busy! I just made a mantis playground for my one I am keeping. He/she likes it.

Two shields and two Hiero goldens.
