should i separate my three nymphs?

[sevenoaks]

my nymphs have molted about three times now and i am worried they might want to eat one another. i am still giving small fruit flys(Melanagaster), but bought the larger ones (Hydei). i have a large container and wondering if i should separate them.i feed them a bunch every day and mist also. i only have three that hatched from the ooth.thanks

If you only have three, yes. WIth a low number you don't want to lose any. If you had 20+ I would say to leave them together. So go ahead and seperate em.

when i do let them free in June, where should i put them. in what type of bush? anywhere specific? thanks for all your help guys..

 

[Rick]

Put them in a place where there are lots of feeder insects. Meadows, overgrown fencelines, etc. These are the places they are found most often.

At that when they generally hatch? In June?
