Creobroter and Orchid mating photos

[twolfe]

Finally after 3 days of mating attempts, I finally confirmed my orchids connected. And my male is still alive to brag about it. After around 5 hours, I noticed they had separated around 2 am, and I removed the male. He was reluctant to get off her back and clung tightly to my finger.

Thanks to Precarious, Rich S and Angelofdeathzz for the orchids and/or advice!

And here's one of my Creobroter pairs mating.

Wow, that's great! How big was your female? She's big! And beautiful

Congrats! Your pics are great, as always.

I'm hoping to see orchid nymphs offered in the U.S someday.

Great job!!! At least my friends are having successes (just in case I fail).
