My valida male died. Guess I have to wait for my sub male to molt so I can mate Sallie.

 

[sally]

The Deroplaytis lobata finally connected. She ate her first date, this one lived. It is hard to watch out for the males when they sit on the females back for days before connecting. The other sphodromantis californica female mated also.

 

[dmina]

Great! Lots of nymphs on the way...

 

[sally]

hierodula majuscula mating today. Poor little male....his eye got stabbed My S gastrica hatched Yay!

 

[Danny.]

How did his eye get stabbed?

 

[sally]

How did his eye get stabbed?

When he jumped on she grabbed him by the head. I got them apart right away and he jumped right back on. Her claw got him in the eye It has stopped oozing and he is mating now. Hopefully no infection will set in.

 

[Danny.]

Bummer! At least he's mating

 

[dmina]

What he has to go through to insure the next generation... little trooper...

 

[jsorigami]

How are the Haania doing?

 

[sally]

How are the Haania doing?
