[QUOTE="Velve, post: 344355, member: 10122"] I managed to film the mating initiation of a M. splendidus pair today! Even at their age, the males still went crazy as soon as they sensed a female emitting pheromones. I just wish I had noticed it a little sooner so I could have set up some lighting for better quality, but they are so quick. [MEDIA=youtube]yzOH5b5afTM[/MEDIA] The last of my M. violaceus has entered adulthood. This one decided to molt on the ceiling in the usual mantis style for some reason, I've only seen young nymphs do it like that before.
