ed_the_waterbeetle_guy Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 I loss my oldest female. She was my favorite, she was agressive, a productive breeder, and very beautiful. She will be missed. Quote
Peter Clausen Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 Sorry to hear that, Ed. How long did she live as an adult beetle? How many offspring does the average female produce? (what species was she?) I lost an orchid mantis female, yesterday. She had been an adult for about four to five months (and I never got an ootheca from her as she didn't much like males). Quote
