I just noticed the back end of my male Rhombodera Longa and noticed the end of his abdomen is messed up as these images may show. They are not the best quality but I think I can explain the males back end where it looks like its suppose to close normally and such is messed up and anyone else experience this kind of problem and have it hampered in the breeding of the males at all?

Being this is my only male and I am worried that this could cause a problem when trying to link up with the female when the time comes to breed him with my three females but am not sure if it would do any harm or what but just wondering is all and would there be a need to try to find another male without this defect in any breeding attempts?

 
I have had this happen in the past. sometimes they are still able to mate and other times it's not possible. When the time comes to mate them, see what happens? Thats all you can do. Good luck! :)
