I put my last male S. limbata, Buddy, in my female Deirdre's container. Deirdre has already laid two fertile oothecae, and I was hoping she would lay a third. Well, the male locked his antennas on her and started approaching. I thought, OK, good. Then suddenly he grabbed her and tried to start eating her! (Mind you he ate six flies yesterday - he wasn't starving.) So I quickly got a hairpin and bent his head away to protect her while she ate him. What was wrong with this male mantis?
