I had raised the temps of my ghosts yesterday to try and get the female to allow the male to mate with him but I removed them after I was told that she still needed some time. However, today, I noticed that my male ghost was a lot more skittish than usual and I even had to chase him around my room because he wouldn't stop flying at the lights! The temperature is about 73 F, so is this normal? does this mean that he's going to die soon? He's 4 weeks if it helps.

 
Is he 4 weeks from adulthood? If so then he should have some time before he dies. Maybe around another month or two. Maybe he was attracted to the lights?

Male mantises seem to get a little wild if they are out sometimes. I have had Chinese males fly as soon as I let them out. And it gets a little exciting to try and catch them when they fly around everywhere.
