Dead Leaf Mantis
Has any one got any idea why mantids get egg bound even after mating?
orchid mantis..2 x trying to breed it and both times she got egg boundOnly had it happen a few times. Sometimes giving them more options works. Once I put one on a large houseplant and she laild.
Thanks for the imput, Rebecca. I've been wondering if she'll just die without laying like the other one... seems to be a good possibility. Wish I knew what caused it.Kat, once the abdomen starts to hang like that chances are she will not lay, they usually die early when this happens too.
only bluebottle flies fed on honey and when i can be bothered dusted with pollen.it lived in those 1ftx1ft net cages you sale.i even mated it again to try and make it lay but no such luck...Hey Macro, the orchids do this a lot, what is she eating?Kat, once the abdomen starts to hang like that chances are she will not lay, they usually die early when this happens too.
