[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 297298, member: 8168"] Indeed in the photo is a gravid Stagmomantis carolina, and should lay in the next few days at most. Even species that are communal will still give into cannibalism occasionally, and the only way to ensure your pets survive is to house them separately. Carolina's are though not communal at all, and are cannibalistic like most other species. Although, from my hundreds of wild collected mantids and near 100 ooths hatched and raised between those two species, the Chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis) is by far the most cannibalistic species and normally eats at least 5 times more feeders than the much smaller Carolina mantis. ;) After all the Chinese mantis usually comes in around 4" in length and much more girth, than the 1.75" to 2" long Carolina's.
