Must have a very healthy diet :shock: What you feeding her?

 

[HelloKitty]

She eats flys, moths, a male :roll: and sometimes spiders...

 

[robo mantis]

Lol she got your male?

 

[HelloKitty]

Yes, one of them :?

He mated (?) her for a day...than he sat on her back for a week and mated her for a second time...

I think she was stressed by him and so...she got him for breakfast .. :roll:
