| Full Text | A CASE OF PARTHENOGENESIS IN A MANTID Last year (1986) I bought a young praying mantid (I think it was a Miomantis species) and it duly developed into an adult female which laid seven oothacae. At Christmas three young hatched from one of the ootheca but died within a week due to my then ignorance in keeping them too dry. I have not been able to find any record of parthenogenesis in mantids. |
