Sybilla petriosa ooths

[Kruszakus]

Hi!

Could anyone tell me how to incubate ooths of this species? I'd rather hear it from you guys than rely on some doubtful information found on certain sites.

When I was incubating my ooths I kept them around 75-80 in the day. I was evidentially keeping them too dry because when the first one hatched all the nymphs were stuck in the ooth. <_< I immediately boosted the humidity (making sure the substrate was ALWAYS moist) and the second ooth hatched perfectly. Now my sybilla are around L4/L5. B)

So how often were you misting them then?

Before, I was doing a light mist every night and morning. Thats what caused me troubles. Keep the substrate constantly moist and you will be fine. B)

You tried to keep them communally?

 

[ABbuggin]

Thats what I'm doing now and so far nobody's been eaten.

From L1?

Man, I love keeping mantids communal - forces you to feed them constantly, hehehe.

Although they may not be terribly cannibalistic, do eat each other.

Thanks guys! I have a horseload of airborne fruit flies handy, so they should not be cannibalism due to lack of food - I hope everything will go well with this species
