Hey all. I've hatched oothecas from chinese mantids and watch the nymphs grow, and I've kept and bred adults, but I've never actually kept one from nymph through adulthood. My question is, once a mantid has fully formed wings, is it old enough to breed? Also, does it molt any more once it has functional wings? How long do they live once they reach this stage?
