Big male and tiny female.

She does a clawing at the air motion,(first one claw then the other) and alot of side to side movements. It reminds me of how nymphs behave. She "dances" every time she eats, the whole time. :lol: It is the whole body more than the booty when she does the side to side. My Chinese used to do the side to side moves before catching prey and while eating it. They must have grown out of it, they only sometimes do it now. I think that it is suposed to mimic leaves or branches in the wind or something. The male Carolina used to do an advance then pause, back and forth, while walking, now he just walks most of the time since he became an adult. :mellow:

Great observations! I let my adult Carolina male out in the apartment today and he had a great time flying around. He finally settled down on the curtains in the sun and relaxed and warmed his wings for a while. It was cute :wub:

They are mating again now. I fed her 4 roach nymphs and let out the Hulk. :lol: He jumped right on and she didn't seem to mind this time. She just looked right up at his face. It was cute the way she looked up, if I didn't know better I would have thought she was going to give him a kiss. :lol: What happened to your mandible? :blush:

Manty has survived round two! I have noticed that he spends more time than the female, cleaning his butt. Almost every time I look at him, he has hold of his abdomen, and looks up at me like, "What are you looking at?". :lol:
