| My female emp is quite fat and has refused food for the first time today. She has become slightly tetchy and has a pale yellowish colour on her back. Is she coming up to a molt? How far away is it? How long does it take? | |

| Could be fat.
Could be getting ready to molt.
Could be gravid.
Refusing food means nothing at all with this species.
Moved to emp section. | |

That means it's an adult. No molts for you. | |

| I thinks my two emps mated last night because there was a white substance on the ground and then there was a white spot near her pectines. | |

| The white substance is poo.
When they mate, you'll find one of these. | |

| She could just be fat hun.
Or she could very well be gravid and about to birth but the only way for us to help with this, is a picture.
Snap a pic of her and we will have a look and let you know what we think | |
