Does anyone know any methods to mate an unreceptive female? She is probably the most nervous mantis ever. She gave me my first winged threat pose, but is pretty willing to do so in any situation. For picture takers, that's great, but for the male, poor him. I'm at attempt number 9. He is pretty cooperative, but she is the total opposite. I've tried feeding her, heating her up, etc. When she's eating, the male does his move, but she turns around, looks at him, and either: 1. Drops the food and runs. 2. Keeps the food but threat poses, or 3. If he does manage to get on, she flicks her wings, and attacks with a newly opened forearm(Lets go of the food with one arm.)......The male, of course, is freaked out and flies/runs away. Also, the female has been mature at least 2 weeks. The male even longer. I normally would just wait longer, but the male doesn't have much longer to live. In fact, I'm expecting him to start weakening any day now, since his brother is already at his death bed. Are there any techniques that makes her more receptive? Thanks.
