Sphodromantis viridis mating (x2)

[patrickfraser]

I just got 2 pair of viridis mated last night and today both males made a "safe" escape. It looks like one got nabbed and lost part of an antennae, but he lives to mate again. :clap:

The second female is a little thin, no wonder he got nabbed; she wanted some carbs to replenish those lost during the mating stuff her a little more next time to be safe

Wow I like the mottled patterns on the wings! :wub: The green ones look like h. Membranacea!

She had a roach, but when he went for her, she flung it away and went for him. He's lucky all she got was his antenna.

S. viridis is a cool mantis.

(PM me if you want ooths...I am just getting rid of all my Sphodro species!)
