[QUOTE="Aristalochia, post: 320108, member: 10358"] Yes, odds are good she's mated, but she will lay eggsacs whether she's been fertilized or not. Also its possible to attract a mate sometimes, depending on where you keep her. Sometimes a male will come looking for her from her scent/phermones. Lastly although many mantids only live a while after adulthood, I've heard of the odd wildcaught mantid living happily until next spring. So its possible your twig will be with you for a short or a long time. One more thing, if you get viable eggsacks/oothecae you can pop them in the fridge till you are ready to them hatch in spring.
