Lost one of my O. siva larvae this week.
While most have two, quite large mandibles, this poor guy had one normal one and one that was deformed. I think this interfered with his ability to eat, as he went all waxen and yellow instead of looking like he was stuffed with substrate. He then became lethargic and lost muscle tone. Yesterday he was quite sad looking but still twitching. Today I think he's gone for good.
Oh well, with any luck I'll still get males & females from the other five which seem to be doing fine.
