[QUOTE="Curiosity, post: 338915, member: 11842"] In 2018, I had a female European mantis (all my mantises have been wildcaught Europeans) named Rachel. I left her out on the balcony overnight, in a mesh butterfly cage, and in the morning, there were a couple of males standing on the outside of her cage. The next day, the same result. I figured the male had somehow known. . . like through smell or something. . . that there was an available female in the cage. I never did manage to get that to happen again, though. Was I right? Is it possible to attract male mantises with a mature female? I can rarely find males out in the backyard (all the ones that turn up are female), so it'd be really nice if that is possible. . .
