Ghost Mantis Breeding

[stacywhite75]

I have a female ghost mantis who has laid 4 ooths...& just wondering if the  female  has to be inseminated several times in order to lay a fertile Ooth or is it a one time copulation that yields multiple fertile Ootheca?

Once a female has been successfully mated, all of her ooths are usually viable. It's a good idea to mate her again (preferably with  a different male, but doesn't have to be) to improve the odds of success.

And Ghost mantids will lay and lay and lay, so you will have baby ghosts if you want them. Lol
