Mating window

So, I know to wait about 2 weeks after they molt into adults to try to breed. My question is, if they molt to adult at different times (female 2 weeks behind the male or male 2 weeks behind the female) is it still possible to breed them? If the female is 4 weeks into adulthood and the male is 2 weeks in. Does that make sense? I am just wondering when is too late to try to breed them? Thanks!

There really is no set time. You could pretty much breed any mantids till they die. Whether the females lay or not is a different story?

Like Ismart says, plus you might find the fem,ales more receptive afterva few more weeks.
