[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 270199, member: 1492"] With the male moving his abdomen I wonder if some of that might just be excitement more than an attempt at communication. I've seen boys of varies species do that on occasion right before they make the move. I had one [I]Creoborter pictipennis[/I] go into a very elaborate claw display while his bum was going crazy for about a minute before he made the move. The girl in question completely ignored his display, but she also didn't try to eat him so maybe it paid off. Lol Your video however is the first time I've seen a girl take so much control about initiating things. There is always something new and fascinating to learn and see when it comes to mantises, and your videos are always such a joy to watch. [/QUOTE]
