[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 90656, member: 2509"] No, I think that that is a great and very interesting observation! Much has been made of female mantids' sex pheromones, and someone in Prete speculates that females may be more likely to kill unhealthy than healthy males, but the attraction of a male to both your and Katt's fingers suggests that the mating orientation is at least partly determined by tactile information and that a fat female substitute (the finger is rather fatter than most mantids' abdomens!) is so attractive that neither pheromones nor a real female are needed to stimulate copulation. On another thread, I mentioned a nifty observation by my friend, Mija. Perhaps I should intriduce you. But no, I fear that there would be blood in the sand! :lol: [/QUOTE]
