kinda sucks, cuz it was my first attempt at mating. but after the first time the male learned how to go about it. he's a pro now!

Aw that's too bad. Oh well, what can you do? At least you have other females. That's good that he's a pro now, haha! Kind of funny.

basically a week after she molter to adult she started calling for a male. i suppose as long as they are calling it doesnt matter how long

I'm sorry for your loss. I also would like to add that although this may not be the case here, I think impactions can also be caused by feeding on insects that have hard exoskeletons, or are none flying insects for example. Some mantids fair best on flying insects, for others it has no effect. I am thinking there could be a correlation between consuming "unsuitable prey items" and their digestive system of some mantids has a hard time handling the breaking down, potentially leading to impactions. I am completely uncertain but it is something to consider. Anyways, sorry to derail the thread a tad bit, we aren't talking about the digestive system here, rather the reproductive so I'll stop .
