Hymenopus Coronatus adult female...

Just got this girl recently. She's so fat. Only a couple days more til my male is ready.

Sweet!

 

[brancsikia339]

purdy!

 

[mantid_mike]

Thanks, guys. I attempted to mate her earlier with my male, but no success. She wasn't being receptive to him at all and kept turning around ready to attack him. I want to post a video that I uploaded to photo bucket, but not sure how to post it.

I feed her too much, especially during these last 2 mating attempts.

mating hymenopus is a pain in the you know what...I lowered mysef and made a prosthetic device to prevent the female (guillotine) from attacking the male...(it didn't work):

this almost worked, but wasn't on point. i took a little advice from a couple forum members (you know who you are) and my male/female finally connected.

Ha Ha!!! that photo of your "prosthethic device" is gold! shame it it didn't work, but it sure gave me a laugh.

Hahaha, I laughed so hard when I saw that divider thing!(its not a bad idea) I'm sorry but the words glory hole come to mind.

Congrats on the mating though

That's hilarious,and the male of this species is so small!

 

[sinensispsyched]

Darn, the dimorphism is extreme!

 

[twolfe]

Congratulations and thanks for a good laugh!

I talked to trans am and he is only trading them for really rare species, so i am still looking

Mantid_mike, what is the technique you used that DID work?

Instead of placing them on a flat surface to mate, place them on a vertical net instead or upside down. Make sure to monitor them just in case the female gets aggresive.
