Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii Male.

I've only breed a pair of mantids so far. The male molted out yesterday and has been kept cool. About how long do Males of this species live once adult? It would be nice if he makes it to breed with all four of my females. The last of the two are about 2-3 weeks from molting while one molted today and the other needs about 1-2 weeks.

Thank you both for your replies. It's good to know that as long as he's not eaten by one of his mates he should live to mate with them all.
