Yes, the female was very receptive. I housed them together and he mounted a second time later that night. They've been living happily together since.
I have them in a 12x12 net cage with lots of branches and vines. That's a lot of space for them. She's not an aggressive female but I have flies in there every day just in case. I'm anxious to see her lay a big green ooth! It's a cool species and all I have is this one pair so it's all up to them.
He connects so quickly, just like the G grisea males did...I wonder why?
Thanks!
He did connect relatively fast but the video isn't real time. I edit to keep things moving. I find that many small species connect really fast though.As always, awesome footage
Thanks! Hopefully this ooth and those that follow hatch out lots of babies so I can spread them around. As far as boxers go this has been the most interesting species so far.
You're welcome! I didn't catch that post, the ootheca, awesome. Bright green, that's wicked cool. Hopefully I'll have money to spare by then. How much would you ask for 2-4 nymphs? Oh for sure, they seem very interesting, previously I didn't realize that they communicate like that, the male and female. I knew they waved their arms and had beautiful designs on them but I find it amazing that they actually make those certain movements to communicate, and show off to each other.
I didn't realize it either until I watch the first mating. When I saw the male do his thing my jaw dropped. Pricing will depend on how many nymphs I get. She's eating a giant super worm right now so hopefully her nymphs are strong and plentiful.
Its crazy, I love it. I don't know of any other species that communicates like that. It's very impressive! Haha, nice.
I'm sure they will be!
