[QUOTE="infinity, post: 18640, member: 201"] Perhaps coincidence but I thought it was worth a mention... I have two mantids in separate net cages adjacent to each other and one laid her ooth a week ago, the other last night... but they both laid it in exactly the same orientation. I just used a compass and they are aligned so that the ooth is pointing north-south. i.e. the mantis started at a point and moved north as the ooth *grew*. Just for completeness- the light source was from the SW, and as it was a net cage, there are no known chemical/ gaseous/ heat gradients within the cage. Anyone else notice this or was it just really freaky coincidence? I think this might only apply for those ooths that are laid on the roof of an enclosure and for certain species as some produce hanging cyllindrical ooths - so maybe only for the Brunerria, Mio, Stagmo, Sybilla and PWs... opinions?
