[QUOTE="The Mantis Menagerie, post: 343114, member: 10981"] It depends on the species. From what I understand, there are some species that are extremely sensitive to inbreeding (I think [I]Stenophylla sp.[/I]?). I do think most try to bring in other bloodlines when possible. I only work with native species (pesky USDA), but I try to cross different lines when possible. I do have a lubber grasshopper colony that is currently all from the breeding of a group of siblings in the prior, F1 generation. I am planning to cross them with wild individuals this summer, and I would do the same with mantids in this situation. [/QUOTE]
