Yes, and no on her life. They spend typically about half their life as a nymph, and the rest as an adult - so you have had her most of her life still.Glad to hear the guide helped you then. Sounds like you will have her well setup to help her too.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> She will be ready to mate typically after 3 weeks as an adult, so in your case about November 3rd. Regarding their mating behavior the females typical call for males, arching their abdomen in a particular pose releasing pheromones. If you see the behavior or not by the date mentioned you should be fine.The photo below is by Piotr Naskrecki[ATTACH]8348[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
