It took me all week to mate these two Rhombodera Basalis , it's been 5 hours now and no sign of letting up. I put him with her every day for a week now, he slapped at her, tried to eat her, :blink: ignored her :huh: , ran from her :angry: and finally after praying and asking God to please let them mate and not have her eat him, IT WORKED! :lol: NOW HE WON'T STOP

Most mantids tend to stay together for hours. My S. Limbata stay together for nearly 24 the last two times I have mated them.
