[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 121506, member: 2509"] Yeah. I did something like that myself some months ago. If you had pried them apart, there's a good chance that the female would have done the same thing again, and you might have damaged her. This way you ended up with a dead male and a successful (fingers crossed) mating instead of a dead male and no mating. As you know, Grant, the crop occupies a substantial part of the thorax when it is full, which leaves an empty space when it is not. I guess that your guy had been too excited to eat for a while! Did the female get to eat part of him? It is said to increase her fecundity. [/QUOTE]
