Is this colony still around? I'd be interested in learning more about Manica invidia, as I have my own colony and plan to found another couple for selling. 

I traded them off for something else, but am currently keeping M. bradleyi, which are a much larger and more nicely colored species in my opinion. However, care for both of these species should be the same. They'll take most prekilled feeder insects and appreciate a bit of nectar or sugar water from time to time. They grow faster when heated at 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's recommended to keep them on a cable or mat.
