Species number 2!

Hey all

I got a few centipedes that have been taking a lot of my arthropod attention. Most of my Ghosts are doing great except for the one mismolt that didnt make it. 

I came across someone on FB recently that had a few Gongy ooths hatch. So when they got to L4, I had 4 shipped to me. This species is so amazing!

At first they were too timid for BBs so it was pinheads. Now they're on BBs which is a huge relief.

Beautiful mantids! In the future, I would not use crickets for any mantis, especially not violins. Try fruit flies instead.

Thank you! I really hate crickets. Both my fruit fly cultures crashed the day after the violins arrived. Each violin had one cricket a few days later when I couldn't get more fruit flies.

Really glad they are on BBs now. 

And the crickets now get to wait to be fed to some centipede newborns.
