Captain merkins right, dont feed crickets to Hymenopus coronatus they will infect and kill it Smile


I dont know about "infect"..

they just do not like that food type locusts and crickets. they will however take them once adult (females anyways from my experience). but I would recommend flies and moths as a staple

I do Smile
Thanks Lynne, yeah dont feed crickets, locust nymphs might be ok but Hymenopus coronatus is a flower ambush feeder, feeding mostly from flowers on flower visitors eg flies, bee's, lepidoptera, true bugs etc
