[QUOTE="ismart, post: 139464, member: 584"] Your female is ready to mate, and is receptive. Your male is the one screwing it up! Female chinese mantids will extend the arms forward in a submissive posture when the male first jumps on, and grabs her. Just keep trying. He should figure it out after awhile. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
