hmm just after a day I rebred one of my two females even though she did not lay a ooth or looks fat as of yet and just to be sure she was fertile and she was doing some kind of gyration with her back end and did not know what she was doing and tried to check and see and she then goes into a full defensive posture and dont know whats going on and should I be worried or concerned?
Strange behavior in my european female

did anything come out of her back end? 
no i think it was the end where the male deposits his payload but I wonder I did mate her before this mantis but that was maybe few weeks ago and wonder if she is just removing the access of the I think spermatophore or whatever from the last mantis and keeping the first load but could be wrong!

I have seen europeans excreate excess water this way. Did any liquid shoot out?
could not tell maybe but before I could tell she got all defensive and looked like she wanted to rip my head off if I was a bug or something and so I left her alone LOL a mantis in full defense mode is enough to keep even me at bay!

I would not worry. She sounds like she's just fine.
