My black light in the yard attract this fella. I am assuming it is a "he" based on his shape and behavior ie flight.
I am attempting to pair the male up with this also assumed female Limbata.
Could anyone please confirm the genders of these two mantids and the species?If what I am assuming is correct the female is not yet mature and the male is. Does anyone know what to do if one matures before the others? I am currently keeping them in separate containers in the yard out of the sun so they won't be so stressed out.
Thanks
