i spray my phasmids anywhere from every day to never .
my et's however - every 2 or 3 days .
it all depends on the general humidity of the room .
its very easy to drown nymphs, but looking at your pics , yours were old enough to be ok .
pesticides & insecticides are probably the reason for your losses though from what you said.

Well, its not that wet! The room is about 50% or so.

Oh, what a bugger... pitty they died. I am trying my best to keep this one alive... I'll go find some more brambles as soon as I can.

Whats even more annoying is that you cant tell (or I cant tell) when they are going to die: one minute their fine, the next their dead. They dont get thin or anything.

Did I? I thought 13 quid was good!

Well, if I do find a reliable source of brambles, and can keep this one alive, I may well PM you thanks!

Oh what a dreadful shame, you must be gutted, horrible way to learn. I once temoparily put some moth larvae in with the indians and they ate the privet, they died horribly (just slowly disintegrated to mush). They had there own leaves in there but went straight for the privet. Had to freeze them in the end couldn't bear watching them suffer.
But we live and learn
