Sup guys...
I have a question i just bough a P. paradoxa like 3 days ago she's an adult she molted into an adult like 2 weeks ago.
I want to breed her but i also red that she will lay an ooth after 2-3 weeks of maturity even if she's not mated.
So question is: Is this ooth gonna be fertil?
Or she needs a male to lay a fertil ooth?

Thanks guys.

Raul,

If she lays an ooth without mating, that ooth will contain infertile eggs. Thia mantid is said to be long lived and will produce multiple ooths, so if you any ooths after you can get her mated will be good.
