[QUOTE="agent A, post: 345411, member: 2948"] THANK YOU! I find very high i1 mortality, even in cages with live plants and an LED light over them. I wonder if they need (either or both) UV light or day/night temperature shift. I'm not really sure. When we (my lab and I) had to mass-produce ooths, we would catch presub/sub nymphs in the field because by then, they were easy enough to keep alive I should also tell the OP, I on occasion get adults molt to adult and then die a few days to a week later. I suspect that something internally went wrong with the molt (remember that inner linings are also shed and there are expansions in there that need to happen) and that caused the death. It doesn't happen all that frequently (maybe 1 out of every 200 final molts that appear otherwise normal, and usually affecting females), but it is something to keep in mind [/QUOTE]
