[QUOTE="vulturette, post: 287374, member: 8153"] Well, I took everyone out of their nice new pretty enclosures, took all the dirt and sticks out, cleaned it out with hot water, and just put more paper towel back in. Everyone else seems 100% okay. The nymph might have just been wrong. They were wild caught, so could have just been something wrong naturally. I'll let the body stay out instead of in alcohol to see if a parasite is to blame. I'm thinking about setting up my heat lamp juuuuust in case it's getting too chilly for them (70s isn't very chilly, but they are a tropical species who knows). My friend wants to go collecting with me, how could I say no to that? She's usually scared of bugs so time to convert her! So I'll try and find more adult females, or ANY males at all. Can't believe I caught nine mantises and they were all female. So yeah! Hope it goes well. Should have an update after the weekend. [/QUOTE]
