Let's play a game! Free mantids for the winner!

[Paradoxica]

How many have hatched so far?

How many have hatched so far?

They keep running around so it's hard to tell. Maybe 30.

 

[Mime454]

Best big I can do for now. These nymphs are pretty big and look hardy. Since they're so big, maybe not as many will hatch as I was hoping. Still, maybe less than normal will die.

 

[Mime454]

72.

And all the mantids will be mine!

(or at least 3 of them)

Winner! Message me your shipping address.

 

[Mime454]

I averaged every number given in the thread without context(some people are represented more than once) and it was 76.8 nymphs. Pretty close guys!

[agent A]

i guessed 74 <_<

is 2 more hatch can i have them?

 

[patrickfraser]

and if 3 die, do I win?

 

[Mime454]

and if 3 die, do I win?

No.

But Nick was right. One got stuck 1/3 the way out the ooth.

 

[agent A]

No.

So technically 73 hatched!Since 73 is between 72 and 74, do me and the guy who guessed 72 both win?

You've sent me plenty of stuff, A. Just pay for shipping and I'll send you some after they become L2.

Yep, that's exactly what happened to me. I hatched about 100 total, sold about 20 to people on reddit and my school, now I only have 2 left at L4. The 3 I gave to someone at my school are alive and doing well.

Mine are doing well. The 2 that made the shipment are alive and kicking. The older one took a small cricket the other day.

 

[CoolMantid]

They were all lost at L1 except 1 L3 to cannibalism. I shipped to you and others at L2.

Alright. The way you said you sold 20 and have 3 left made me think they all died after shipping.
