[QUOTE="d270, post: 195701, member: 6368"] Hi, I did a search but didnt come up with my questions. are there any issues raising mantids in complete darkness? My fruit flies are more active when the light is on, and especially if I bump their culture. Could my raising the mantids in complete darkness hinder them? I have them under an overturned cardboard box in my garage to keep them around 75deg since it has been chilly in Chicago. On another note....Im going to have issues since I have 2 eggs cases in one aqaurium....I thought my divider would separte them, but mantids found their way thru anyway. So when the other egg hatches it will be about 3 weeks behind....and Im afraid they'll all get eaten. My mantis babies are total carnivores, even with daily, massive, fruit fly feedings. I saw two mantis ready to grab a fly.....it crawled away from them.....so one mantis took the opportunity of the distracion to just pounce and devour his buddy next to him! [/QUOTE]
