Even though gripen cheated and guessed twice. :donatello: 4 is the wack amount of females i have. Of course i'm just messing with you gripen. I never did set any rules.

Maybe none?

If this was the case. I would have called you up hysterically crying! :hang: :lol:

 

[brancsikia339]

Wow! Only 4

 

[hierodula]

4? jeez! do the males usually have a higher mortality rate?

I'm starting to think so. They are very small.

Parymenopus arent in the same Genus as Hymenopus, so you should expect that there will be differences in breeding, ootheca shape, etc etc.

Have you determined a good way to sex younger nymphs yet?

Can someone clarify this, google is of no help for such a rare species. Are paramenopus closely related to hymenopus, or is this a bizarre example of convergent evolution?

They're both flower mantids, so yes. Theyre closely related

well I thought somewhere I read the ooths can hatch up to 100 nymphs or so but maybe less depending on the female I am guessing!

 

[massaman]

One thing about the males are they got a good appetite and mine can usually go through 2-3 flies like every other day or so and I do like the yellow color would be cool to get one green with white dots or something far out!

That would be interesting.

Massaman- How are your davisonis doing? Did anymore become adult? I'm getting mine next week

 

[massaman]

only had 1 survive out of the 4 I got from Ismart and I am getting a adult female from him for my male who is a adult but wont breed them for like 3 weeks and so far mine is doing very well and he eats pretty good and I think he is doing just fine and hoping to get my own personal stock when I do breed them and hoping breeding them wont be that hard being most of the mantids I bred have not been that hard and only ones that had me pulling my hair out is when female rhomboderas and budwings and a few other female of other species kept throwing a defense pose and making breeding them hard!

 

[brancsikia339]

Cool! Good luck with the breeding!

 

[angelofdeathzz]

6 males out of 11(7 maybe, probably not) lucky? we'll see... You only need 1 or 2 good females is what I know?

 

[aNisip]

With the ratio ismart has (4/20) you should only have 2 females out of your 12...sweet luck!
