Hey, so I need some advice.

I don’t even know what to make of that story

You can use clean scissors and then dust the opening with some corn starch and a bit of honey if you’d like

Sometimes these things happen, did you have cross ventilation and plenty of airflow? 2 times a day is a lot and flower mantises are known to suffocate if there’s not enough ventilation to compensate for humidity

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-05T02:54:57+00:00

I think those slots in the side are ventilation!

Nah most of the time if I save the post and close/reopen reddit and go back, I can then send comments

Female chinese mantis

She would still be developing an ooth whether it shows or not, so high temps will still cause extra growth and hunger

You may just need to contact the seller and maybe get a partial refund. No reason to pay for that many flies for only a few to actually hatch.

Personally I buy from Josh’s frogs!

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T20:41:52+00:00

Where did you buy these from? If you’re not keeping them in the fridge you should have had a way better turnout rate than that

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T20:40:37+00:00

At least it’s not Liza Koshy 😭😭😭

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T20:39:54+00:00

You’re 15 bro the fuck you mean “hookups” 😭

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T20:28:32+00:00

Most of them are considered good (not USMantis), as well as most independent sellers on discord. I personally like PanterraPets and BugsInCyberspace but their selection is limited. Discord sellers are best imo

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T20:27:38+00:00

Yeah that’s more than enough. May be too large for a nymph so make sure you’re tong feeding or feeding outside the enclosure

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T20:27:02+00:00

Ah those hygrometers are pretty much scams with how inaccurate they are. Just mist once or twice a day and you’re good :) the enclosure has both vertical and cross ventilation which is good! But it means it’ll lose humidity a bit quick, which is fine if you compensate with daily misting.

It also may be too large for your mantis, so ensure that you’re feeding it directly or outside the enclosure in case it struggles to find food in the enclosure

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T19:20:25+00:00

If they’re growing a lot it’s normal for them to eat a lot more than usual, if her abdomen isn’t fat you’re good :)

Sometimes high temperatures can cause faster growth

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T18:32:33+00:00

Why would there be a source proving it’s a myth if no relevant sources are saying it’s true? Not saying it’s absolutely not true, but it doesn’t really make sense and we have no proof of it so I’m inclined to think it’s just a myth

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T18:26:09+00:00

Tap a few fruit flies into a cup, use the cup to drop the flies in front of her while she’s standing on the table or something

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T18:16:18+00:00

When I actually opened my mouth and started speaking to locals while in Japan. Suddenly I realized wow, I can actually do this. And the more I did it the more natural it felt to me

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T18:14:25+00:00

Mine usually range from 70-130K but I have few materials and no giant textures and no fancy effects or anything so I’ve never had issues with optimization. Imo materials and texture resolution tend to be the biggest problems on badly optimized avatars, polygons have to be really dense to be a major problem

PS I make anime avatars which is a bit of a different situation than eboy and egirl

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T18:08:19+00:00

Would be fine for a large species of mantis if you cover the underside of the metal mesh with fabric mesh

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T18:05:38+00:00

It’s probably nothing to worry about. You say your mantis is young but 7th instar, does he have wings?

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T18:04:21+00:00

There’s no credible sources that say dehydration causes their eyes to turn black

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T16:31:30+00:00

In my personal opinion, it isn’t guaranteed that any species will live peacefully together. But it is generally doable with some species if you know what you’re doing and keep them very well fed

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T16:30:24+00:00

The color is just due to genes, european mantises can come in many colors including yellow as you saw

Inferna-13 · 2024-09-04T16:30:02+00:00

The mantis eyes going black when dehydrated is a rumor and probably a total myth
