[QUOTE="TheWrongCrowd, post: 343029, member: 12415"] Here is my Chinese L1 nymph drinking: They will bow their body and head low to a surface and sip (nibble) from it. My mantids do that with my hand when they are thirsty, usually they seem very well with just their food as hydration for a good amount of time, so I find it hard to catch them in the act. I would say give a light misting once a day (or twice if you are keeping it on the warmer side or there's a lot of ventilation) and as long as you are doing that and the RH moves towards 50-65, then your mantis should be well hydrated as far as I know.
