Mating after ooth laying

[Mvalenz]

So what is the consensus on mating after the female lays an ooth? Is it necessary to mate after every ooth has been laid?

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

No necessary but i have done it

 

[rs4guy]

I feel if a pair has connected twice that is sufficient to fertilize most if not all of the ooths the female produces...

 

[Mvalenz]

What about mating multiple times with different males? Has anyone experienced any ill effects from this?

should be fine

No. But it seems helpful to mate after a few ooths.

Thanks everyone. Looks like another one of my male budwings is going to get lucky.

I should have some in about 4 weeks. She just laid the biggest ooth I've ever seen.

I just had some budwings hatch. A couple of days ago only 3-4 hached and yesterday maybe another 15-20. There should be more today...I hope. I mate my females as many times as I can until there are no more males left.
