[QUOTE="kylelleonard, post: 346446, member: 12901"] I believe they are the chinese mantis that lives wild in California, if that sounds right? They are tiny nymphs now but they have an endless appetite for fruit flys. I'm slowly working on separating some of them. I had planned to release the majority of them as mantis are living here in Colorado, but I'm going to do some more research and let these guys molt a few times to ensure they are the species already living here. The ghosts seem to be eating well, I have a pretty varied diet available so hopefully that helps. They've all eaten fruit flys, tiny pin head crickets(I raised, second generation under my care) and 4 of the six devoured varying sizes of tiny meal worms(I mean tiny, maybe half the width of a fruit fly). Them eating mealworms was pretty fun to watch. I'll get some pics of the guys I had hatch out later today. [/QUOTE]
