Do you have another male you can try? My first three Ghosts I mated have all been laying fertile ooths. Now I'm waiting to see about the other two. Three / five never ate the males, and they died of old age. One finally ate the male. And one of my females that hasn't laid an ooth yet bit the head off from the male. I didn't see them connect. We'll see what happens. Good luck with yours!
i tried to breed my creos last night

one female got punctured (non-fatally) then the male ate too much and is too fat to connect with the second one, who got sick of him after a few minutes :rolleyes:

will try again wednesday

Very nice, good job. The females are very aggressive eaters, so its a risk for the males not getting eaten.

 
Really amazing photos and so impressive that you raise these up in the great white North. I grew up in Seaforth, ON and Buffalo so I can appreciate what you have to deal with.

And wonderful photos. You have put Pseudocreobotra whahlbergii on top of my "try next" list! Thank you so much for keeping up this thread!

Wow! Great the Kongobatha diademata are not dead! I have read about Orthodera novaezealandiae being impossible to keep alive. And I read that they have wider shields than Orthodera ministralis. Orthodera ministralis are not too hard to keep alive right? :huh:
