Nice.
No pressure.... :huh:Amazing, as always. Would expect nothing less from you
I don't know. They've been living in the same net cage together for about a month now, and I see him riding her occasionally. Have never witnessed penetration, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened when I wasn't around. Will have to wait and see.they aren't mating! did the yeventually connect though?
Thanks, Martin. As always, you're so supportive.
are these easy to breed? Like Creobroter? Creobroter are too easy, male is very quick and willing to get to business. I put Misha and Micake together, 1 minute later, they're connected. But Micake rejected the spermetaphore and ate it. Then 4 days later Mohammed came into play and now I have babies. (Micake died of constipation a while back)
I've had good luck with them so far. But cannibalism is a constant threat in spite of the large net cage and plenty of food.
are u talking about Creobroter? you saw my missing male thing in my blog? I found him. go to my blog cause I have pictures of a male molting to L4.
No. I was talking about the subject of the previous posts in this thread... Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii.

I'm still shocked Kat found her E. pictipies nymph loose and alive in the bugroom with all the hierodula running around

Good point, Alex, and maybe it was just luck, but I suspect that, unlike flies, say, mantids will avoid any insect that is too large to be prey. Mantids tend to spread out, partly for this reason (another reason is that if they group too closely together, they will be obliged to share a relatively small amount of food).I'm still shocked Kat found her E. pictipies nymph loose and alive in the bugroom with all the hierodula running around
