hey all, i'm having a problem with my female popa

she is easily irritated and makes random threat poses at anything

she is on my kitchen table near (1 foot away) a window and abt 15 feet from the window is a road

she just threat posed a passing car

she attacks the male and my finger and doesnt want to eat

i've called it "mad popa disease"

anyone else notice their popa females doing this? any idea why?

thanx :)

 
pissy popa tag...HaHa

Man with Spurcas its usualy the opposite for me...they are timid if anything.

My female is always chillen :p

 
the adult pair fought last night and it was so loud it WOKE ME UP :eek:

nobody was hurt but she's been like this since the weekend

she's pretty fat now, maybe she feels nervous or somethin

i hope it has nuttin to do with da bee that she ate a few weeks ago

 
My female popa lived just shy of a year, without any sign of agresion. She was shy if anything in all that time.

She is getting ready to lay and she needs some dark strait sticks to do it on, they like to mimic the wood, give to her an leave her alone, she won't eat till she lays.

Again? She laid 1 infertile ooth just a month ago and 70% of her body mass is from 1 bumblebee

I still owe u and rich s ooths and I wanna keep an ooth as well

How many do they lay? How do I time this properly?

 
Wow! I just got a popa today from mantispets. It is so cool with its stubby middle legs. When it arrived it had a house fly as big as her in its claws. The fly was as big as her. The fly was crawling around and the popa was holding on and eating the fly as it was walking around. Awesome!!!

For me its the exact opposite! My female wants to matesnd my male is the aggressive one lol

He will pinch her and do a threat display towards her. He hasn't eaten in a week because his wings are always up in a threat display
