[QUOTE="PlayingMantis, post: 272881, member: 7332"] My R. stalli stayed right on her ooth, even after several days. She was free-ranging in my room so she could've gone anywhere she wanted to, but she stayed. I know this one instance does not really prove anything either way, but I thought it was an interesting observation. My S. pretiosa female was in her enclosure when one of her ooths, which I thought was infertile so I left it in the container with her. She spent the better part of the day with her babies crawling all over her, and by the time I got home in the evening, she had eaten only one of her young. Not bad for a mantis that is normally extremely ravenous and enjoys devouring all her mates. [/QUOTE]
