[QUOTE="lancaster1313, post: 162740, member: 4001"] I have tried the force mating with Chinese mantids, trying to push their abdomens around just seemed to confuse and frighten the males. It didn't work at all. :mellow: Sometimes males are just not in the mood. The only difference was that my females were ready to mate and they would lay down their claws(in a submissive posture) and wait patiently for it to be done. I never had to hold any claws. The males were the ones who didn't feel like mating. I had 2 males and 6 females, the males both died without ever mating. :( [/QUOTE]
