Thats perfectly understandable, I knew when i took on the resposability of hatching ooths that it was not a joke or somthing to be taken lightly.
I spent weeks research on the subject and and in doing so i stumbled across this forum which i was delightfully pleased in finding, as there are lots of people like yourselves who are expiereanced and compasionate about mantids.
However seeing as though I am a first timer you cant expect things to run perfectly straight away, but i am learning.....
