Kat, how long was she an adult?

I don't know, Rebecca. I got the females (all siblings) as adult the first week of January. Got them from Mike, but he wasn't sure how long they had been adult before he sent them to me. Just the other day he said he has another female who is a month older than them (as adult), and she is just now starting to show her age. But he keeps them at a lower temp. than I do... so maybe the degree of warmth I've been keeping them (72-87 F. - night/day) in has sped up the aging process? I really don't know.

Thanks Martin and Bobby.

Still no sign of Harry. :mellow:

Lol poor Harry, you are going to wake up one day and find him chewing on one of your thumbs.

My mantids do that to me all the time

Actually wouldn't be too surprised if she did eat him entirely. Sorry about Harry and Michelle

No, Bobby... unless he really is a magician and can get out of that room and find me in my bedroom! There's a twin bed in the bug room, but I don't sleep on it. Too hot in there, and the escapee fruit flies would drive me bonkers crawling on me!

Thanks, Asa. You know, I'm leaning towards that scenario myself now unfortunately.

Lol, I think that is one of the most interesting things they do.

If they get bored, they will literally start "chewing" on my fingers.

It's like, "Im not here being eaten alive, go ahead and have a snack."
