[QUOTE="Descartes, post: 306142, member: 9192"] I just make a habit of misting lightly once a day. Usually right before I head to bed. You could try a day or two with just the water in the food, but I would mist after that and see if they drink. That would tell me they are thirsty and not getting enough. Many insects can be masters of water conservation, given their small size and unpredictable environments. I figure water is free, and many mantis especially can expect dew on leaves every morning, so why be stingy? [/QUOTE]
