hey all, so i have 3 female creos and 1 male from tammy's stock

i put a pair in a deli cup and COMPLETELY forgot abt them

then i go upstairs and they r connected :clap:

but the female is kicking the connected male with the closest leg

is this normal? did i scare her or something? i'm sure if she didnt want him she would do more than just kick with 1 foot

thanx :)

 
Sometimes if a fly or something lands or crawls on a mantis' back, they usually 'kick' it off. This is the only behavior I can relate to her doing that. So maybe she isnt used to him being there?

All the best,

She might think he is a fly then LOL!
 
Yeah, but he's a fly that's doing her! You'd think she'd realize that he's a cute boy! After all, humans don't have sex with chickens, then kick them off!

 
I've seen that behavior a million times. Surprised you haven't seen it prior.
