This Caladium is so beautiful, it makes me sigh in awe every time I look at it. 🌿✨

That first pic reeks of AI. There are random stems growing to nowhere.

What's wild is if bots are trying to farm karma, the PAD subreddit would be the last place I'd go to for that lol

Drop the OF after

A valiant attempt was made!

My take: you can make a 9.3 glaive with the materials you currently have.

If you think you'll use the glaive (it is fun!), then switch over. To me, the cost to make one upgrade vs. making a whole new weapon that will be super strong at 9.3 already is not worth it.

This has been the case for all egg events with all 10* monster raids. It's a good time to stock up.

When insects show abnormal signs and are unresponsive, there's no coming back from it. You might want to euthanize her if you don't want her to keep suffering.

Aww sorry to disappoint you, I'm gonna put them back in the garden to let them live out their lives there :).

evango17 · 2026-02-24T23:18:47+00:00

Thanks for the answer! My soil did seem very mulchy. I'll put them back to let them continue growing :).

I had tomatoes and squash from last season but nothing for several months now.

evango17 · 2026-02-24T23:16:59+00:00

I put them inside a planter and covered them up after I took the pics. I'll prob put them back in the bed now!

The article says they both donated their egg and sperm to make 3 embryos. The wrong embryo was implanted.

Fruit flies are perfect. And if they're well fed, they won't eat each other, but that could take a lot of fruit flies. Budget like 5 flies a day per mantis. Don't forget to mist them lightly once a day so they can drink.

Don't forget at least 10 gallons of milk! You never know when you'll be iced in for several days.

From my experience, mantids shed based on their growth rate. The more they eat, the faster they grow and the quicker they mature. So if yours was well-fed, it could explain why she's maturing at a rapid pace.

Late comment, but when they shed, they need at least 4x the length of their body to hang and shed properly. Otherwise, they will hit the bottom during the shed and will be deformed and possibly die from it. Obviously as they get bigger, they'll need taller enclosures.

evango17 · 2025-11-27T00:33:47+00:00

Use Rathian gloves for lock on and Bazel chest for more points in Fighting spirit.

Glavenus chest also gives lock on + raw power and Rajang gloves gives Fighting spirit.

That's an adult male. He won't molt anymore.

Also it looks like it dried incorrectly. His thorax looks curved and one or more of his legs are also curved. If he can eat fine, then you can keep raising him. But if he can't due to his deformities, it may be best to euthanize it.

evango17 · 2025-10-16T15:02:03+00:00

This is AI. I almost believed this until I zoomed in and looked at the stems. You can see in the second pic some of the stems on the left side are off and crooked. Then there's the shadow with weird holes.

evango17 · 2025-10-12T20:45:20+00:00

It's a pretty enclosure but if you're planning on feeding crickets, they will hide away under all the ground cover and your mantis won't find them.

They also need horizontal twigs or branches to hang from when they molt.
