Adult orchid mantis age

[tallguy]

I was wondering how long I can expect him to live. I came home today to find he had moulted and he is ahead of the females so I want the chance to mate them before he dies of old age, thanks.

the males tend to mature sooner than the females and if taken care of wonderfully the adults can live 4-6 months! so no worries!

Usually not a problem.
