Description

Crossing trail at 12:05 am. Grassy hillside with sporadic Quercus stands.
I kept this individual in captivity with a steady diet of Gryllus and Periplaneta for the past month. She did not eat until about 1 week after her offspring had left her back. After this, she ate voraciously. Around 10 of her offspring have been kept for rearing, 1 by myself.
On July 20, 2022, she was found dead. She had no apparent wounds besides a missing front portion of L1 likely due to a Gryllus in the container. Likely reached the end of her lifespan.
