Assassin Bug Question?

[karmadog]

Up until a couple of days ago I had two orange spot assasin bugs living together. One has sadly now died.

I bought these two as a pair and feel a bit sorry for the remaining one living on its own.

If I bought more of a similar size could I put them in with my remaining assassin bug or would it kill the new ones or vice-versa?

Hi Karmadog.

I add to my colony all the time and touch wood **knocks on own head** I haven't had any problems.

I always add adults into the adult colony though, i think smaller nymphs would be speared by the adults.

Hop this helps

Thanks for your reply.... I'll buy a few adults this week and hopefully my remaining one will be ok with them.

if i remebr a friend was saying, that the young can be cannibalistic but adults are ok, not 100% though
