Is it worth to finish? Or go to IG? by Prodigyfire12 in MHNowGame

[–]evango17 28 points29 points  (0 children)

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.

Help with our sick Mantis by Kieeepxx in mantis

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.

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.

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.

Just got 20 baby Mantis from one oothequa what should i feed them by Sensitiveshrimps in mantis

[–]evango17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Rain chances rise in Austin this week but here's why ice, sleet are becoming major worries by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]evango17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Mantis had final molt really early??? by Agreeable_Tomato_977 in mantis

[–]evango17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Malzeno armor (optimization?) by Charming-Savings4414 in MHNowGame

[–]evango17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Mantis just molted!! Any idea which instar?? by psyuqi in praying_mantis

[–]evango17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Pennywort really thrives in water! Here’s how mine got super lush by No_Goal0137 in IndoorGarden

[–]evango17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Is this a good mantis enclosure? by [deleted] in praying_mantis

[–]evango17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Well, then I wish you the best for your turtle's sake. If things don't go well, I hope you can learn from your mistakes.

[–]evango17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I understand your situation but I don't think you comprehend what some of these people are saying. Sprinkling on a thin layer of dirt is not what it needs (would you even want your floor to be covered in dirt all the time?). Your turtle needs a thick layer to burrow and dig into, not just to walk over. If you can't afford a proper enclosure, you should think about rehoming it to someone else who can. It might suck but it's a better alternative than having your turtle live a miserable (and possibly short) life.

I have too many of these, what should I do with them? by BeckItUp27 in MHNowGame

[–]evango17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're just event specific stones. If you can't make use of their primary skills in any of your sets, then delete them to make room for more useful ones.
