Ok, I've seen lots of strange things since keeping mantids, but this is the one thing that stumps me; This happened to my D.Dessicata female a while back too, but I just bred my female P.Wahlbergii and right after separation, she ejected a small white thing from her genitalia. I don't know much about the details of mantid reproduction so if anyone knows ANYTHING, please help me...is she rejecting the male's spermatophore? Do mantids EVEN pass a spermatophore??
I didn't see this happening with an earlier Wahlbergii, but she's just laid her first ootheca so I'm assuming that all went well for her. Any clue anyone???
Thanks,
Evan
