Seriously proud of you, Rebecca, and no, it's not just "good luck"!

 

[ismart]

Fantastic! I'm so glad she made it to you already. I had to fight with the post office to have her shipped to you today. <_< I cant see why Express shipping would take two days from New York to Ohio? Well anyway, congratulations on your pairing. Please keep me updated!

Nice! sounds like a receptive female and a male that didn't need much time to get the hang of it are now hooking up!

can't wait to see CB nymphs.

 

[hibiscusmile]

Update: They are still together! I had put her in the container when she arrived and gave her drink and handed her a fly, she took it right away, I braved the 90F heat and went outside with my net and brought back a dragonfly, she didn't want it, but one of the males took it. I had two males in with her, and they were unhappy, everytime the one male moved the other thru up his arms, which made me laugh, I finally moved him out as the other kept trying to get on his back. So now it is just them in the dark , hot :lol: Bugatorium!

 

[hibiscusmile]

Now all shes gotta do is lay some ooths! What were you feeding her Paul?

Mostly moths. She would take the occasional blue bottle.

 

[hibiscusmile]

[LauraMG]

Looks like a match made in.....well...considering their name I guess H-E-double hockey sticks! :lol:

My son calls these "the bat mantis" because of that shield one their backs! I love 4 year old logic!

Nice! Take good care of her now

I am happy with you.

 

[hibiscusmile]

Thanks guys! It was a combined effort! Paul 's lady and my male! I don't know what u mean by " how long are the idols?"

AM Update: They have seperated and both are in new homes with some water and flys, not my prefered breakfast, but breakfast neverthe less:lol:

 

[LauraMG]

Now we wait for babies!

 

[Mex_Ghost]

Congrats both of You Becky and Ismart.

Saludos

Congrats you guys! I hope you both get lots of nymphs out of this mating.

Also, are they an extremely difficult species to mate, or is there some other reason that it's such a big deal to mate idolos?

It seems to be that getting them to adulthood is the hard part. Having a mating pair out of what was started with is, seemingly, almost impossible. It says "diabolica" for a reason! :lol:

 

[hibiscusmile]

You know it! seems almost impossible for one person to get a pair to adulthood at the same time:blink:
