Is the D. lobata hard to breed?

[Shadow]

the care sheet said I think the D. Desicatta or something like that hard to breed

 

[Shadow]

Are the lobatas hard to breed like the desicatta

 

[Gill]

The males mature earlier than females so that can be tricky.

 

[Shadow]

I mean like actually getting them to breed

 

[Paradoxica]

I've never raised them, but I was under the impression that Desicatta were the easiest of the Deadleaf species to breed

 

[Shadow]

Ohh the care sheet says its hard

 

[AxolotlsAreCoolToo]

males are extremely timid and female will cannibalize need spacious set up, multiple males, and a little luck maybe.

lol I have bred other easy species, I came in knowing this species is notorious for being difficult. She proved that today when she unfortunately flipped the male over in the middle of mating and ate him D:

It's alright, it's kinda sad as he was trying consistently for the past week to mate with her lol, but this time when he got her in a lock she got him. I'm not sure where I will find a male adult D. Lobata.

I have so far bred europeans. but in books and on care sheets they say europeans are a harder mantis to breed. so how hard could an easier one be!

 

[I_love_mantids]

I think people make too much of a deal for breeding. Like, when the females eat the males it makes the ooth healthier. And in the wild they just breed!

but sometimes the eggs still aren't fertil
