I never saw them mate, I like to see them.

Acanthops are such cool looking mantids, reminds me of a Hymenopus and Phyllocrania hybrid. Horay for fertile ooths!

They are funny ooths, she makes the string which is anywhere from an inch or more long and continues to move making the ooth and as it is made it has a curl to it, when she is done, it just hangs there. I have five I believe that have hatched since they started hatching, which makes me :lol: one happy foster mom!
