[QUOTE="Chivalry, post: 215752, member: 6149"] I have had communal mantises in the same conditions, obviously, because they were all together, and they grew at very different rates. For example, I have a community of O. gracilis that are all from the same hatch. One male is adult already and I have one (the "runt of the litter", I guess) who is still L4 or so, and pretty much everything in between. The 2 females from that hatch have kept up with the adult male in molts and they're subadult at the moment. How much they eat matters, too, and I imagine that it's warmer in parts of my 12" net cube than other spots... lots of variables. [/QUOTE]
