--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have three Chinese Mantids, one female and two males; however, my female is mature, but my males are not. I was going to try to speed up the metabolism of my males so that I could mate one of them with the female, but, in the mean time, she laid two eggcases. Are these eggs fertile? Am I too late to mate her with one of my males?
Thanks,
JET
