I was thinking of making a new generation of mantids with the two i have now.
How do i make sure i have a male and a female. I know your supposed to count the underside of the abdomen but do you count the last pointy segement(the end of the abdomen)?
When they are mature how do i know there gonna mate rather than kill eachover.Do i just put them in a tank together and hope they mate or slowly introduce them to eachover?
oh and if i do get a fertile ootheca, when the nymphs are born should i seperate them or leave them for a while?
Do the nymphs eat eachover when they hatch or are they friendly with eachother?
