[QUOTE="half man half mantis, post: 343167, member: 7422"] The offspring of the two different species will be unable to reproduce and won’t “muddy the water” as second gen is impossible. They will be sterile and have trouble making sperm/eggs because their chromosomes don’t match up well. To a lesser extent because of their chromosome number. Just like a mule comes from a male donkey and female horse but it’s unable to reproduce. Expect a low hatch number. Weak nymphs and a big mortality rate at the second shed. [/QUOTE]
