    Momo was dying

    Don’t beat yourself up, I could see what an effort you made. Adult males just sometimes don’t eat. You did fine and I could tell your really cared :)

    Blue bottle fly or house fly culture?

    It’s a stinky and gross process to breed them. Honestly I don’t think it’s worth it.

    Zoo Med Creatures Habitat Kit, metal mesh ok?

    Fabric, shelf liner, fiberglass or fabric mesh.    No, metal mesh has sharp edges where the wires meet. It slices up feet.

    Zoo Med Creatures Habitat Kit, metal mesh ok?

    Cover the mesh. Metal mesh rips up mantid feet.

    Ghost mantis males in mating

    I’ve tried 2 males, 3 females, in the evening, at midnight, with the females having food each time while pheromone calling.

    Ghost mantis males in mating

    Mine literally has done that like 7-8 times. He is being a total pain. He also flies like, non-stop.

    Ghost mantis males in mating

    I’m having the same issues. The males spermataphores are much smaller and just look like wispy white things barely poking from the abdomen.

    can different mantis species mate?

    No. People would breed them more and muddy up the bloodlines.

    can different mantis species mate?

    We all take that risk. Just keep windows closed with mature males and never take them outside.

    can different mantis species mate?

    I recommend against trying it. An if you do, do NOT sell the offspring.
