[QUOTE="MantisGirl13, post: 339771, member: 10807"] 1. Once the female is sexually mature, she will release pheromones to attract males. When kept in captivity, the pheromones can't be blown around by the wind, so they become very concentrated. If a male is kept in the same room as a female, he will become used to the pheromones after a bit and not want to mate. 2. Unfortunately, the mantids can be finicky and there are days where they don't want to mate, days where the female is super aggressive, days when the male wants to do nothing but mate, etc. The trick is trying to mate them often enough to find a day where they are both receptive. 3. Sounds like you're doing things as well as you can! Good luck! - MantisGirl13 [/QUOTE]
