[QUOTE="Graceface, post: 320136, member: 11024"] Thanks [USER=9879]@ausar318[/USER] Great info! Yes, your results sound similar to what Kevin said. He recommended that if you must inbreed, you should outbreed alternately to keep your genetic stock from deteriorating. I have no experience with breeding mantids yet, but I assume it is a similar case with more exotic species as well. Considering the male and female Orchid Mantis mature at different rates, it would seem nature is trying to avoid inbreeding. [/QUOTE]
