Hierodula Multispina

[ShieldMantid1997]

Hello everyone!

A pair of Hierodula multispina molted to adult for me sometime last week.

I was wondering how long i should allow them to mature before mating them. I have never kept any Hierodula sp. so i wasn't sure if they take a long time, like say, Lobata females do.

Thanks!

Also, should there be a noticeable size difference in this species?

The male and female are almost the exact same size except the females wings are a bit wider.

i found my males were bigger than the females lol

i'd wait 3 weeks or so
