[QUOTE="MantidBro, post: 287448, member: 6731"] October 11th Another Idolo reached L3, #1: [IMG]http://img05.deviantart.net/3c28/i/2015/287/3/2/number_1_idolomantis__l3_by_alexandersmantids-d9d50kw.jpg[/IMG] Just waiting on the male now. I'm feeding him less so that he will reach adulthood around the same time as the females. Males have one less molt and it takes 1-2 months for females to reach adulthood when sub-adults. So I want him to be 1-2 molts behind the females. If I don't make sure of that, he will reach adulthood 1-2 months before they do, and he may not live long enough to mate with them. I was told that males do not live very longer once adults. October 14th Neptune (male Heterochaeta hatchling) molted. He looks to be at L6.

I did breed her so it should be fertile. She took quite a long time to lay it though! Wow.
