Cochises pics

[Mantis Lady]

This was funny: I thought maybe Cochise would like a little snack, a grasshoper. I put the grasshopper before Cochise and it started to jump and landed on me and jumped again and  landed on Cochises back.

Cochise wasn't moving at all. just sitting still and let the grasshopper walking over her.

The grasshopper was lucky to live another day because Cochise wasn't hungry at all..

 Lucky grasshopper! I had a grasshopper tear my Chinese's wings once. It was so sad!

[Mantis Lady]

aww, poor chinese mantis. was het an adult grasshopper?

I am not used to a Chochise who isn't hungry, lol maybe  she is still full.

 

[MantisGirl13]

 Yeah, maybe you finally fed her 'enough'!

Cochise needs some ooth laying lessons. You know  she roams free on my desk. She somehow tried to lay her ooth on a stupid playce, my little bucket with pens and stuff. She never finished it. I cleaned her butt, there was green ooth stuff on.

I think she needs to go in her home for a while. I think she will try again soon . How can I offer her a good place for laying her ooth? it will be an infertile one. But nature calls.

Put her in her cage, and make sure there are lots of sicks for her to lay on. GROW UP FASTER, BOB!!!!!!!!

hehe, Bob is lazy I think. but for this ooth it will be too late. Cochise need practising laying ooths. I will show later the pic where she layed partly (1/3?) her fail ooth on.

Yeah maybe i should replace the fake plants with sticks. I don't think it is easy to remove it from a fake plant.

 

[Mantis Lady]

Here a pic of Cochises 1st try to lay an ooth, but on a wrong place, she couldn't even finish it.

 

[Mantis Lady]

At the moment Cochise is laying her ooth on the lid of her home. Think she will be tired after it

 

[Mantis Lady]

I couln't sleep last night and when I got out of bed, Cochise did her second try to lay an ooth

When I woke up again, I wanted to see the result of Cochises art of ooth creating., but it was just a very small thing: maybe it is because it is an infertal ooth or because it is done in 2 steps.

 

[MantisGirl13]

From what I've heard, infertile ooths are more likely to be deformed than fertile ones, so I wouldn't worry.

[Mantis Lady]

Wondering: will she be laying more in a short time, for will it take a few weeks before she lays again? I see it as practising ooth laying. When she mate succesfully with Bob she will be having nice ooths

Nothing is so tasty as a freshly molted roach. At this moment Copchise is still enjoying the roach. Easy to chew on with a soft exo skeleton.

but she can scare her younger family members with her big mantis butt:

Congratulations on Bob’s adult molt, he looks beautiful with his new wings. I like the last picture, he’s got that menacing mantis grace.

 

[Mantis Lady]

He was refusing food at that moment. that is his way to show he doesn't want to eat?

 

[MantisGirl13]

 He is pretty! I love that last picture! So cute!

I have some more Bob pics:

Cochise is too fat to climb the screen but Bob can still do it. I was gaming and suddenly I saw a mantis butt on my screen.

and as last: Cochise hanging in her home:

 

[Mantis Lady]

I have some new pics to show: despite being not very well She eats good.

Bob is a messy eater
