I decided to let the male into the container when the female is munching on a mealworm. ;)

See how he hides his head behind her "neck".

I have a Tropidomantid Tenera too. Its a female. Unfortunately I don't have a male :( . Although I hope to attract one by putting her outside and attracting a male by herself. BTW is this species very canabalistic?
