[QUOTE="happy1892, post: 347737, member: 5913"] Great question! I am sorry, but I don't know the answer to this. It would be cool though if being kept communally changed their growth rate! I have had some Ghost mantises slow down in growth very much when I kept them cooler at around 70F. I kept them each in their own container, not communally. They were pre-sub to sub-adult and didn't seem to need to eat for a month or more and not even shrink in the abdomen much. It is incredible! They might do this in the wild in Madagascar and South Africa where there is a mild winter, so that they can get through winter there. [/QUOTE]
