Last week, I bought five L2 jungle nymphs.Two females and three males.However, after looking for more caring sheets, that males molt fewer and have a much shorter lifespan than females.Then, is it impossible for me to breed with the jungle nymphs now I have?
I can't find detailed information about mating jungle nymph,and is there anyone who have exprience?

I'm not sure if the difference in lifespan is drastic enough that the males will die before the females can mature, but if you're concerned about that happening, keeping the male nymphs at a cooler temperature (like 20-22 C) and keeping the females warmer (like 25-30 C) is likely to cause the females to mature faster.

In my expereince with Extatosoma tiaratum, which grow much faster and have a shorter lifespan overall than Heteropteryx but similarly have males with a shorter development and lifespan than females, I didn't have problems with the males dying before they had a chance to mate with females.
