Yeah that's just it. I'm guessing when we caught him, he just turned adult. Right now it's like each time he sees a female, he'll immediately go to her and just jump straight on, drum a few times and connect. He's a stud fo sho.He probally was just not ready yet.

Good to see you have a horny male :lol: Your orchid pics make me very tempting for an orchid comeback Unfortunately both of the female orchids collected in CH couldn't make it All the best to your orchid and looking forward to see some ooth from all your mated females.
Also, prepare lot of fruit flies before the ooth hatch, orchid baby don't do well with hunger.

Yeah he's a horny one lol. Yen you really need to keep them again, and T.elegans! Just keep them around for easy access, Orchids will always be popular right? Some members are gracious to send me some FF cultures cos they know how difficult it is to get those here.Good to see you have a horny male :lol: Your orchid pics make me very tempting for an orchid comeback
Well a have couple of ooth traded from my Japanese friend Kaz-san incubating right now i hope they hatched. They are originally from CH too. As for T. elegans, yeah they are cool, i sent out some new generation here, i remember Francisco from Cali (you know him?) get some from me but unfortunately it couldn't work out. Besides the ff culture you have now, you could also check with Singapopre U, one of the top class university they should have biology lab culturing flightless fruit fly too, another option you could think of if you ever ran out of ff, but you also know where you can get them
That's awesome Yen. Can't wait for you to start Orchids again. I don't know Francisco, did he have problems with breeding them?Well a have couple of ooth traded from my Japanese friend Kaz-san incubating right now i hope they hatched.

That's a fantastic suggestion about the university here! Never thought of that. If I'm having a shortage of cultures, I know my Shifu will send me some haha. Thanks Yen.
yeah probably stop at rearing stage but I was sick last summer before my trip to Asia where i got rid of all my mantis and didn't follow up with mantis for a while, long story bro.....
Oh sorry to hear that bro. I do hope that you can start breeding Orchids and T.elegans again though.
