Disastrous discovery this evening

[MantidLord]

Hopefully if these males are like some other species of mantids, the fact that he was cannibalized might have triggered him to actually mate with the female (assuming she wasn't too powerful). I'm sorry for your loss, but not everything is lost. Good luck.

Thank you all for your kind words.

I've had a hopefull discovery this morning. The first female he was with for 2 days laid an ooth overnight. It looks good, but of course no way of knowing. But the fact that she laid it one night after he was removed from her cage is promising to me.

Omomantis zebrata ooth (January 2010)

Hoping its fertile and hatches out and I want to be one of those who buy them from you if you can get some generations from this species as well!

Aww sorry for your loss. I'm sure he had a great life as a mantis living with you, and I wish you all the luck when it comes to the ooths hatching. =3
