[QUOTE="lancaster1313, post: 151655, member: 4001"] I found a Carolina ooth in the park a while back, and raised 3 mantids to adult. I decided to let the two most mature ones mate yesterday. The male matured on 1/8/2011, and the female matured 2/3. I know the female wasn't quite 2 weeks old yet, but she let the male mate with no problems. They connected for about 6 hours.The thing is that her genital area is still gaping open since yesterday afternoon. I didn't notice this happen to the female that I bred 3 times last year. I can see something white showing that I will assume is from the male, and it is starting to dry out a bit. Can this female be rejecting the males sperm? I haven't seen this female trying to clean the area yet. The other female did alot of cleaning down there after mating, and had many offspring. [/QUOTE]
