[QUOTE="MantisGirl13, post: 329388, member: 10807"] Welcome to the forum, [USER=11283]@ieatroaches[/USER]! Lack of ventilation with almost all species is a killer. What were the temps and RH? Were they housed communally? What Instar were they? I've been in love with insects my whole life too (I'm 14) and I got so frustrated with my first exotics when they all died due to ventilation and food issues, so I understand the feeling of not being able to figure out what you are doing wrong. Orchids are a little more complicated than ghosts, so not great for beginners. If you are getting him a new mantis soon, I'd suggest the ghosts, as well as spiny flowers and budwings. If you try for a higher Instar you might have better luck as you get acquainted with the care of mantids. Hope this helped! - MantisGirl13 [/QUOTE]
