[QUOTE="Forcep, post: 272898, member: 7781"] Hey everyone should take a look of this literature: Ene, J. C. "The distribution and post-embryonic development of Tarachodes afzelii (Stål),(Mantodea: Eremiaphilidae)." Journal of Natural History 7.80 (1964): 493-511. Ootheca guard and gregarious association between hatchlings and females were observed, which the author described as "unusual behavior among mantids". Now what we can do is to test is if ootheca guard is more common than we thought among Mantodea in a scientific way :clap: Here's another literature suggesting the existence of parental care among mantis; keep an eye on your female Hierodula membranacea next time! [FONT=Arial]Balakrishnan, Peroth. "AMBUSH AND OVIPOSITION SITE SELECTION BY GIANT ASIAN MANTIS Hierodula membranacea Burmeister (MANTODEA: MANTIDAE) IN TROPICAL WET EVERGREEN FORESTS, WESTERN GHATS, INDIA." (2012).[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
