luckily im a light sleeper and about 4am i heard the clicking of his claws on the plastic as he was trying to get away from her. i jumped up and pulled him out of the enclosure

I do the same thing when trying to mate them overnight. I jump out of bed at the slightest noise. Sometimes insomnia is helpful in this hobby! :yawn:

Before I rescued a cat, I used to breed the mantids out of enclosures in my bedroom. The male can get away and sometimes I would have to search for males that were hiding. My first mantis flew right onto my pillow in front of my face when he finished mating. I couldn't sleep a wink knowing that they were mating. I am glad that I was awake cause I would have been heartbroken if I had rolled over on him. lol
