A Mantis Mating Disaster & Crisis in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

In my giant cloud rainforest vivarium (Pantdora), I attempted the dangerous task of setting up the stage for two adult praying mantises to breed, in hopes to secure a future generation of praying mantis babies for Pantdora's rainforest ecosystem. The entire mantis courtship process was a nail-biting journey with a result I didn't expect. But after it all, I ended up with the biggest crisis in the history of Pantdora. Hope you enjoy this week's episode, Part 14 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

@fobjoe 3 месяца назад

I've bred California mantises in captivity about 20 years ago. One of the recommendations I had read at the time was to introduce the female into the male's habitat. Since that would not be an option in Pantdora, introduction of the male in a safe hiding area may be effective. Another tip I used was to keep the female full (like constantly have her hands full with a snack) during introduction. Even when the female had two crickets (one in each foreleg) she turned her head during the male's approach and grabbed him. I felt the same horror as you when she started with his head and ate half of his thorax. To my surprise, the male's abdomen started probing around as if it had a mind of its own and found its way to the female's cloaca. There it stayed for about a day a half before dropping off. His legs were still responsive to stimuli for another couple of days. A few weeks later I was happy to see an ootheca appear. Incubation where I lived was typically 6 months (September-April). In tropical environments (and indoors) where temperatures stay above freezing, this seems to be expedited to about 3-4 months. As long as she's well fed she will continue producing eggs and lay around 6-7 Ootheca. If you capture an adult female later in the season, there's a good chance she's already mated and will lay viable eggs. I often wondered if the species are able to reproduce via parthenogenesis but never had the chance to test it out. Hope you are able to capture the mantis mating ritual on another attempt!

That is fascinating was it just something that you did for fun. I remember when we were kids taking the fruits and veggies to the compost pile we would sit there and let all of the bees and wasps lick it off our fingers and just sit there and watch it about a half an inch from your nose it was so cool insects up close fascinating. I watched a huntsman spider go around with her egg sack and I noticed that she would stop and pause Here There and Everywhere and a few babies each time would get off. I also heard that they use an electrical charge to send out their Web Runners they also eat black widows and brown recluse so they are great to have in the house especially because they don't build obnoxious webs. Just name them all Charlotte😅

I have seen mantis breeders have this issue. One of the videos I watched, they were breeding a dying species the zebra mantis. They successfully were able to help the male pass on his genes by attaching him to her while she was already eating. Once he was done they removed him and she was preoccupied with her meal the entire time. That might be what the male mantis does in the wild is wait for female to be eating to make his move !

@scottdusenbery2278 3 месяца назад

So something to note, studies have shown that mantis's in captivity can get extremely stressed out, especially while being observed. This is why almost all mantis breedings done in a lab resulted in the male getting eaten something that doesn't actually happen in the wild very often. There's a good change that you being in from of the vivarium and recording them the entire time they were neat each other contributed to this outcome. It would likely be a good idea to introduce them the next male far from the female, let them find one another on their own, and limit observation to prevent them from being stressed.

@Randy-Lahey 3 месяца назад

The green mantis is pretty used to the filming at this point, the brown mantis was brand new to the environment. I’m sure giving them more space would help a ton at least so the male can chill out. And as you said limited filming / a person visible too.

@CRogers2013 3 месяца назад

@@Randy-Lahey This makes no sense and is highly dismissive to what Scott said. Even if the mantis is "used to being film", doesn't mean it likes it. Its like the victims of human trafficking are use to the abuse from their Johns, they still don't like it and are highly stressed during each encounter with one.

@@r.wilson2348 I’d like to but it’s been well over a decade since I retired. LED technology was a new player in the reef aquarium scene at the time but I imagine that by now there must be many fixtures that offer similar features. I’ll do some searches.

@davidcook1394 3 месяца назад

@@AntsCanada I “misspoke “ it’s not a light fixture I was thinking of it was a controller. A quick search yielded Reef Angel controller. A unit that didn’t exist when we were in business. Search for Reef Aquarium lighting controllers. Controllers are multifaceted and do more than just control lights. You may find some uses for the other features they provide. Many would monitor temp,pH…..etc.Switch on and off devices like fans,chillers,wave makers,dosing systems….etc as well as control the lights. They’d data log have alarms ,allow remote access…etc.

i absolutely have to applaud you on the quality of this series. i joined late, having only joined the series last episode, but by the stars, am i invested. your script writing and narration as well as the cinematography are engaging and really make you care about the creatures in the vivarium. as a writer and movie fanatic, i can say this is genuinely inspiring and much more entertaining than a lot of modern media. i genuinely felt saddened by the Grey Reaper’s death, but i also found it beautiful, appreciating the viewpoint you brought to the otherwise tragic situation. now when it comes to Lady Deathstrike… the last few shots blew me away. the drama! the suspense! the angles, the lighting, the music, the acting! absolutely phenomenal. i never expected something like this from a series on RU-vid about a vivarium. i felt so enraptured that i had to show my roommate, and i will definitely be thinking about this all week. i aspire to create things like you.

Paarthurnax for the golden dragon name, or Quinariin. Just two dragon names from Skyrim that popped into mind when you asked for suggestions. As for the mantis mating thing, you'll need to introduce two or three male candidates for the female to choose from, she's obviously not going to mate with just anyone. As for the doors coming open, that's going to be a big oopsie, not only for your experiment, but possibly for your entire local neighborhood if some of these insects are as invasive as you mentioned previously. I would suggest some magnetic door catches are in order, and they're not terribly difficult to install as one part slides over the glass edge and the magnetic part will be attached to the frame.

Geckos actually use the van der waals force to stick to surfaces, which is basically magnetism on the nano scale between individual atoms. It's soo cool. It's basically always there is you have really smooth things close together. Those plastic sheets for car windows stick using the same force, and really smoothly processed metal pieces stick together using the van der waals force too. For the same reasons geckos do not stick to no-stick pans, as they counteract the van der waals force. Most things (like our skin) are just waaay too rough to make use of this force.

HI! I just found your age of arachnids video and feel blessed by the youtube algorithm. I was watching and I saw you needed a name for the sun skink. I was never into enclosures or animals until recently when I discovered the Foo the Flowerhorn channel (And my dad was a huge scuba diver and loves fishtanks). But ever since I was 5 I had been taking care of a leopard gecko. My brother (who is 4 years older than me) and I shared a room together growing up and he bought the leopard gecko named Leo. Eventually he left to join the military and I had been taking care of him ever since! Sadly, we had to put him down due to him not eating and his blindness had worsened. I tried really hard to nurture him back to life but after 15 years it was time to let him go. I would love to see you name the sun skink Leo, in memoriam of my lizard. Hopefully you see this, but if you don't I know you will pick a great name! Hopefully he finds a mate to raise a family with. P.S. I buried him at my favorite place: a jetty near my house. P.S.(x2, lol) Please thumbs up and comment any stories you guys have of your animals so he can see the message! :D Thanks for your time everyone!
