[QUOTE="Mystymantis, post: 338555, member: 9416"] So the male never dismounted and I didn't try to remove him from her. Amazingly he stayed on her the whole time she laid the ootheca. Of course I have been watching them very carefully for any signs of aggression which then I will remove him. So far she has been fine with him riding her. But he has been on her all day and night and still not managed to connect. Does it normally take this long for males to connect in Ghost mantises? I haven't ever bred them before so I don't know if this is normal or not. Is it possible her wings are in the way? He has tried to curl his abdomen to connect and was on her wing instead! [/QUOTE]
