Stagomantis breeding

[Mantidmaniac95]

I have a female stagomantis and I put 2 males I found last night and when I woke up both of the males were on her mating. they just finished mating and I opened the tank and 1 flew out and I cant find him but the other one had its head eaten off.

Was the tank outside or inside your house? If it is inside, you should have no problem finding him unless it flew out a window. It's kinda sad when the wife eats her husbands head. Hope you get more Stagomantis.

Best to leave mating mantids loose in a room to prevent him being eaten. Those males will fly away very quickly.
