[QUOTE="Graceface, post: 326589, member: 11024"] I do a dime sized drop of raw honey in a tablespoon or 2 of water. I like to lean to the less honey side so I don't make them sticky. They do typically want clean water afterwards, so I do one end of the Qtip in honey water, the other in plain water so I can easily alternate. Ghosts may be a bit skittish about the Qtip in general, but I find mantids who are sick are typically less likely to resist, especially when they feel the moisture on their mandible and smell the honey. Honey water can work some miracles for sick mantids, give it a try [/QUOTE]
