wings of mantis

[Lientje]

Yesterday my woman of Plistospilota guineensis has become adult.

Her wings stand right to continu. They do not fold together.

Would this negative be for mating?

 

[Rick]

Sometimes they don't form right. It should make no difference in mating.

I have heard of someone that the man have the impression then that she doesn't want to mate, she looks' aggressive ' :?

If she is dry, you can try to make them fold down. After my European does her partial threat pose with her wing, I have to gently push them back down, because she folds them pratically.

Female mantids are often aggresive, try feeding her a lot before mating.

That would assume the wings formed correctly. In this case I cannot determine if he means they formed wrong or not.

 

[asdsdf]

Oh yeah.

 

[athicks]

It would be worse if it was the male's wings that stick out as that would make it easier for the female to grab and eat him!

ok!
