[QUOTE="MantidLord, post: 146040, member: 1732"] I agree with everything said above, except the captive vs wild development. Despite food intake and humidity, stress can be a huge factor for a captive mantis, and can restrict development of a mantis, or possibly cause an increase (more so than in the wild) of random deaths. Just wanted to add that in there, because I believe (unless I didn't read all the way) that stress was left out. Not to say that wild mantids don't get stressed out obviously, but they have adapted to their environment, rather than adapting to being confined in s small space for all their lives. [/QUOTE]
