[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 146162, member: 2509"] kova Yeah, I agree. We have talked about the stress of handling mantids, recently, but not the more pervasive stress caused by keeping mantids in poorly ventilated pots. No one gave a particular reason for misting (beyond infuriating our pets! :D ) but one good result of misting is that it causes evaporation and air turnover. One mantis lab mentioned in the Prete book mists twice a day, which seems like a good idea if you are going to do it at all, since it will give about ten hours of evaporation/circulation depending on the RH gradient.
