[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 157182, member: 2509"] I haven't been in idolomants country, so far as I know, but I was in Kenya. The masai mara has two rainy seasons, one about now and one in November. I imagine that it is two rainy seasons and how far they apart that determines whether they breed once or twice a year. I sent heart broken Sparkle off to the mara at the begiining of the month, hoping that accommodation would be less costly than at the height of the -dry -- season. No tropical mantids need diapause, though some orthopteran nymphs may diapause in the middle of the dry season when the grass is sere. They do that here in the Sonoran, by the way, which is good for the mantids, because it delays the time when the crix/grasshoppers will grow too big for the mantids to catch. Boy, it's an interesting world, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
