Is Acontiothespis multicolor parthogenetic?

[happy1892]

If a female Acontiothespis multicolor did not mate would she make fertile oothecae? And is Miomantis paykullii parthogenetic too?

I don't believe so. The only parthogenetic species I know is brunneria borealis, but I know that there are more out there.

Yes they can reproduce with no male.

Here's a mention from Yen's site regarding parthenogenesis and a. multicolor: http://www.usamantis.com/9-3-10amulticolor.html

i had a miomantis female lay an ooth before mating and so i gave it to a science teacher and they told me about 20 nymphs hatched after about 2 months

i miss my little miomantis, they were awesome!!!

I thought some of them needed males.

Mantispets.com says Miomantis paykullii are parthogenetic.

Do some Miomantis paykullii females need males to make fertile oothecae?

i think a good "pinned" topic would be a list of parthogenetic species.

my sp. liniola laid an ooth i assumed was infertile...but i did not remove it yet I usually clean enclosures sundays (skipped last sunday to make new homes for my creos) so was gonna do it tomorrow.

so....
