Hi guys 👋 

I hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful day so far! 
 

I have a random question- I have one L4 rhombodera and 5 (L4 as well now) Tenodera Sinensis. The Chinese mantises almost always drink the water droplets that I spray daily. I know that the rhombodera needs a bit more humidity, so I spray the enclosure multiple times per week. I recently set him up in a glass terrarium with spaghnum moss and hes loving it (I thought it was a girl at first but now I’m *pretty sure* it’s a male- still not positive tho 🤣).
 

However I have NEVER ONCE seen the rhombodera drink the water droplets?? Should I be concerned at all?

He is very active and seems to enjoy being handled over being in his tank! I have had him for about a month and a half. I haven’t seen any issues arise or anything, but I just thought this was interesting as I have read they require MORE water intake. 
 

Anyone have any thoughts?? 😁
