Help! I have an eggbound Heirodula. She is so swollen her head is on the ground. Any suggestions that might help her? Will mating her help? I have a male but he seems uninterested in her. I only exposed him to her once. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What do I do if she is eggbound? Won't that kill her? She is literally with her head on the ground because her back end is so big and swollen. What do I do? And she is refusing to eat. . .

I have a very gravid female Heiradula. I have a male too. The problem is that I can't seem to get the male interested in the female so that he can fertilize the female. She has her little (well actually very large and swollen right now) butt up in the air just a swaying but he just keeps walking...

I've been gone for awhile, but I'd like to welcome you to Mantid Forum! I'm in Arizona. I've been around for about a year. I started out with Iris Oratorias and now have 4 different species. They are a lot of fun and are very interesting creatures that God has created. I get lots of enjoyment...

Welcome to Mantid Forum! I live in Arizona, moved here 2 yrs. ago from central Cali, but was born and raised back east in Ohio. I've bought a house here in Arizona, therefore, I'm not moving again, I'm here to live out the rest of my days! :) It looks like you've got a female Iris Oratoria...

I received several mantids of various species from Sticky and they all arrived safely, well packed and in good condition. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy mantids whenever she has them for sale. :)

Silkworms. That's an interesting idea. Looking forward to seeing a pic of the little one! A lot of us use non-gender-specific names for our mantids, that way no matter what it turns out to be, we are safe! LOL ;)

More recent pics yet? Wanna see the handsome devil! (Or beautiful dame!) ;)
