Awwww bummer!! sorry :( I hope to travel to europe one day and be able to collect Empusa sp. in Spain or France. Hopefully you have better luck next time don't give up.
There must be some breeders over in Spain who would be willing to go oit and collect some Empusa.

I never gave up - but I think that the fact that the previous owner brought them into diapause with flat abdomens, and 3 molts before adulthood might have screwed up those nymphs. Out of 5 pairs only 2 made it through diapause. It's a shame, but at least I know I can provide the proper conditions for them - having a cool cellar can be very helpful ;)
