I have a lone female that reached adulthood a couple weeks ago and I'm in search of a male for her. Am also willing to send her to someone with an adult male for the price of shipping in exchange for 1-2 of her ooths, depending on how many she lays.

Tragically he passed away. :-(  I checked him over and he doesn't appear to have any other visible wounds so I'm a little baffled. It's unlikely but I hope they did manage to connect at some point while I wasn't watching them.

So I'm just wondering - how likely is it for males to get the ends of their abdomens damaged in the process of breeding? I put a pair of carolinas together in a spare room today and the male successfully jumped on her back and she seemed fine with him (it helped that she was eating at the time...

Hey there! So I've had this account for a good couple months now I think, but I've mostly been using it to check out all the neat info on this forum and occasionally to stalk the ads. I've got one adult male ghost mantis that made it to adulthood and several L2/L3 chinese nymphs from 2 ooths...
