These are basic care instructions for this species based on my own experience in rearing.

20°c	20°c	dry	airy

These are best raided in a fully ventilated plastic container, mesh vents either side - condensation most not be allowed to to occur as this will quickly destroy the colony. Keep dry and warm for best reproductive rates.In captivity this milkweed feeding insect can be reared entirely on oily seeds - pumpkin and sunflower kernels work best. Wheat grass can also be offered but take care this does not dampen the enclosure.
Water must be provided as the enclosure is kept bone dry, a container full of damp cotton wool or sponge is ideal.A layer of sunflower kernels acts as both a food source and an appropriate substrate - be sure to remove any old/mouldy kernels on a regular basis. Provide a ball of cotton wool as an egg laying medium.After copulation which can last for some hours the female probes the provided cotton wool ball for a suitable area for egg laying. small clusters of yellow torpedo shaped ova approx 2mm in length are deposited at depth into the cotton wool, where they will develop. Shortly before hatching the eggs will turn bright red in colour.
The nymphs are tiny at hatch, only a few mm in length and bright red in colour. They cluster together and will readily feed from the sunflower substrate and seek out water when required.
