Creos overly scared of each other??

[agent A]

So I noticed 2 of my 3 adult female creobroter apicalis silmultaneously calling and so I tried introducing the male to a femme and they went all crazy and panicked and the moment they saw each other they started running and flying about and they r going bezzerk

It's worse than sybilla pretiosa lol

Wat is goin on here? Shouldn't they be breeding like creos r so good at doing instead of running away? Wat should I do??

Thanx

Put them in seperate rooms for a week and try again. btw I need to borrow a male from you when my female molts to adult

 

[agent A]

I think I know the problem!!

I just realized the male has only been adult for a week lol, he's not ready yet

But man I've never seen a female creo fly the way she did...

 

[CoolMantid]

My ghost sorta jumped with her wings out to the next deli cup. It was really cool. It looked like flying :angel:

 

[agent A]

so here r a few shots of the females calling

closest they got to mating

 

[CoolMantid]

Good luck! Also your creos are still young adults. Why would they be calling so early. Most females do that when they dont mate for a while

 

[Chivalry]

Ooh... thanks for the calling pic, it's helpful. I almost never see mine doing that. Hmm.

Did you check the boys breath and make sure his man pits are properly tamed? Nothing like bad breath and B.O. to scare away all the pretty ladies. :tt2:

Good thing they were caged up, u would look funny going to school with them stuck in your hair!

What do you mean, I thought mantis hair clips where the latest fashion? Plus they keep the flies from buzzing you.

 

[CoolMantid]

Um. My creo is 4 days old from adult I think. I dont think she is not calling but puts her abdomen down to the ground and then back up. I

 

[Chivalry]

I've seen that. Not sure what it is but I think it is a different behavior.

If only we humans were not so olfactorily impaired.

the memmes r ready to mate but the fattened femmes still reject the advances despite perfuse calling :huh:

 

[sinensispsyched]

What time do they usually call at? I think my problem is that my female hasn't been calling!

 

[patrickfraser]

the memmes r ready to mate but the fattened femmes still reject the advances despite perfuse calling :huh:

Is "memmes" the new term being used for male? femmes and memmes? I find nothing for memmes, but femme (also butch) is used to describe a type of gay or lesbian with feminine characteristics and one of the last things I read about lesbian mantid is that they don't exist. So is this correct?

 

[agent A]

Oh I thought femmes meant women, cause in Lady GaGa's song "scheiße", she sings "blonde high heeled feminist enlisting femmes for this express your woman kind fight for your right", so I thought it was abt women and their deceptive power (look up the song on YouTube)

 

[patrickfraser]

Sounds like she is talking about lesbians to me. Just the pretty ones, femmes. Butches are less attractive. LOL

Very on topic lol

But seriously I need them to mate

Do they need a certain temp to be in the mood??
