Hello forum members.
I have been raising a pair of idolomantis diabolica I acquired from Yen at L3. It has been very fun watching them grow to adulthood. Recently my female laid a massive egg case so she is ready to be paired. I believe this first case is infertile as I have not witnessed them linked up. However recently my male has become very weak and is having difficulty eating and staying suspended. I believe this to be a product of old age. Since they came from the same brood it is likely he will expire before he can fertilize her...
So I have two propositions:
1. I can send my female away to be paired with an experienced member's male in exchange for a staggered set of egg cases
or
2. A board member can send me a male to be paired with my female in exchange for money/egg cases.
Please share your ideas with me so hopefully Darla might propagate for her sake and that of idolomantis enthusiasts everywhere!
