Spermatophore Rejection

[sinensispsyched]

My stallii female rejected the spermatophore/ ate it. Is there any chance of fertility of her next ooth?

 

[agent A]

That was likely just the sack, the sperm is probably still in her

Ejection of the spermatophore was one of the ways to check if they were fertile. This increases the chances.

Yeah the spermatophore is like a envelope and once the male releases this into her, she extracts the sperm from it and rejects the now empty spermatophore....its a good thing...

 

[sinensispsyched]

Phew, ok. That's good.

Also, do you think that there will ever be a day when mantis artificial insemination will be happening?

It isn't "rejected." What you see is what is left after the female has extracted the sperm.
