I have seen the female mantis doing this recently especially after laying an ooth. It looks like cleaning up just like what we supposed to do after the toilet session

I don't know what it is about creatures cleaning their privates. I am thinking about all of the animal shotz of eating afterbirth etc. and if I think of my weiner dog, he's always cleaning the grossest of areas (then he wants to give everyone a kiss). We all get grossed out and run away from him and he doesn't understand why...

I guess I have always observed my mantids cleaning themselves even when I think they look fine - they are kind of obessive compulsive that way, I think. I am, from your topic, now informed they also do their gymnastics to get the other end. May I suggest, as a mother, a soft toilet paper for all of you who continue to want to inhale ecoli et al - yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Maybe it is a guy thing...
