I have a tropical mecopoda sp. I can share - helix_r@inbox.ru

In general, I can share it, but I don't know where to start. The conditions of detention are somewhat similar to those for butterfly caterpillars.
Have you ever had any experience with the content of someone, or did you decide to try it right from grasshoppers?

Tell me, and feed what? In summer, and especially in winter? And how are the grasshoppers in winter? Do they reproduce here?

In summer, they feed plants (dandelion flowers, sow thistle for example) and small insects (aphids, fillies, flies), in winter they are in diapause (eggs). That's if you're talking about the greens. Mecopods - I don't know, they probably jump in winter, and they don't require diapauses.

That is, by the winter in the terrarium, imagos die in any case?

I had one record holder-a male Tettigonia cantans, who lived until January 1. But in general, our grasshoppers usually die in October, in the best case - November.

And how to introduce them into diapause?

We need to create an imitation of the changing seasons, because we have a middle lane.
In short, reduce the air temperature, you can increase the humidity, but not too much. Eggs are easier to put into diapause. And imagos, if not tropical ones, will still die sooner or later.

Wow, I haven't noticed this topic before =). I keep quite a lot of grasshoppers, I wrote in the topic about the content of straight-winged ones.
