It's hard to tell what they have eaten!

I know they have not eaten a single BB, house fly, maybe, its hard to tell.

They die in there, so maybe and maybe not.

I do know they have eaten the fruit flies because I counted those and they were

not all there the next day.

Never actually seen one of these guys eat though!!

BTW, that USED to be my dinning room table!! now, it's full of bug stuff and smashed

fruit flies, and a few dead cricks here and there!

It's weird to think how many people have eaten off of it, and now I squash escaped

ff's on it with my fingers ;)

Well, now I only have one nymph left!! another just died! just dropped from the ceiling of the

net cube!!

I guess I wont be getting am more of these guys!! no luck at all :(

 
Sorry to hear this. :( I'm having a very high success rate, my nymphs are all approaching adulthood, but I'm keeping them warmer than my other mantids. Their average netcube temps is around ~80F (70-90F is the range they experience between day/night), perhaps your temps are cooler?
