Why will my female even when really fat will only lay 1.5inch ooth

[macro junkie]

its been 26 days since her 1st one laid..i have feed her so much till shes going to burst and she still only lays an ooth of 1.5inchs.Im not sure how many im going to get from it but from what iv seen to others these ooths are small..i think any way?whats the regular size for a Pseudocreobotra ocellata - spiny flowermantis ooth?i feed her just on house flys that eat honey..and i also coated each fly in pollen.?

I wouldnt worry too much about it as you are getting ooths, it might be that she needs remating or it might be that she hasnt eaten as much as before or it could be that the temps are a bit lower or that she is that much older, there are many factors to consider but it doesn't really matter unless you are trying to break some records
