That looks like mites.

Because of the holiday season the grammar police r off duty but wat do i do abt it??

That looks like mites.

mmm... I doubt it. It's more like a spot of liquid on the eye. I had this happen many times when I gave my mantids grasshoppers or crickets. Their puking defense system sometimes made brown-yellow patches like that one. Maybe the fly's blood could do that. I just find odd how it got to the eye.

If she cooperates ill try to wipe it off lol

 

[sinensispsyched]

My budwing had it, and no matter how hard I tried to remove it, it wouldn't come off.

Yeah spray her down a lot, mainly her eyes, then take a moist que-tip and gently rub it off of her...it is probably like domanating said and liqud probably form a fly u fed her...

Probably what was mentioned, a spot of liquid from food.
