I have a pair of this species that has been mating off and on for 6 days now. 6 days! The male has been on her back for 6 days, and they will mate for about 12 hours, stop for about the same time, then mate again for 12ish hours. I have never had a pair like each other so much! I'm actually amazed she hasn't eaten him yet, as she hasn't eaten in these 6 days. The male shows no interest in leaving her, I've tried to remove him, but he just grips tighter when I do that. Anyone else heard of mantids doing this? Should I just declare them married? :lol:
