DeadIntheBasement Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 i was capable of finding what i believe to be Ischnoptera deropeltiformis today but when i got home i noticed it was injured!...i think it looks like it is missing a piece of its exoskeleton? think it will survive? i am not sure if this injury was already there or happened during the transport home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadIntheBasement Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 actually i think it is just from where it "glued" me and then the dusty leaves in the container stuck to it..... after i gave it a mist it looks fine i think....hopefully i panicked for nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
