Oddly aggressive ghost nymphs

[mantisman 230]

It seems my ghost nymphs have taken after their mother. They have a highly aggressive feeding response. I've never seen ghosts so willing to take two flies at once, and then snack on a sibling ???

Don't know about the sibling thing but my ghost, when I fed her wild melanogasters for a while, (She's too big for them to be an effective meal now) Would also eat on one and have another in each raptor! So 3 at once! Highly aggressive feeder.

F**k. Lol! Maybe think about separating them earlier than you normally would.

They are in groups of three, I've bred many species, and am well aware of needing to separate them. They are just becoming second instars. This has led to the increase of aggression, but it is off because it was absent for weeks. Only now is this occurring.
