[QUOTE="TheWolven, post: 348805, member: 12740"] Eh humidity isn't that big of a concern for mantises usually (as long as they're roughly in the range the species needs to be). Internal hydration is far more important and is a key factor for molting. Mantises basically use the water inside them to pump themselves up like a glorified balloon when their exoskeleton is soft during the molting process. Man, imagine if we could do that. Rip out our skeletons every few weeks and expand. [/QUOTE]
