Hello, I mated a pair of Chinese mantises today and the male keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. It has been 6 hours since he first mounted, but he has disconnected at least 3 or 4 times. I am wondering why he is doing this? I haven't had males do this normally? or maybe I haven't noticed? Not sure...
But I am wondering if I don't see the whitish clear stuff (the spermetheca) deposited in the females abdomen does that mean they did not successfully mate?
Because I mated him a few days ago with a different female and he mated for about 4 hours and got off and there was the white stuff in the female's abdomen.
