you need to carefully take them and knock" the female's belly on the end of the male, and he will open the doors, as it were. there we "put the female" a little hold, when they grapple, you can put them on something so as not to interfere with the process.

Thank you, with two pairs it turned out and how long does the female bear eggs?

The female needs to be constantly fed with a solution of fructose or sugar ( so that the gren ripens better), after a couple of days put a freshly cut plant ( dill for example) and put a wat 60 lamp over it , put the female on the plant and she will lay one egg on the underside of the plant with soaring wings, usually lays 3-5 eggs in one presest and flies away from the plant, plant it again and again, but do not forget to let it rest and feed. A couple of days at this rate and you can let her go free ( I usually do, she will find where to put the rest), Gren from a couple of three females will be enough for you believe me!

I apologize not skhara, but meda-I got confused!

there is a problem. due to my inexperience, I put the females in a small cage and it so happened that they broke their legs. what should I do in this case?

proprosthetirutite them lol.gifAnd in general probably need to start all over again.

I want to add: the female needs to be allowed to fly for better maturation of the gren, and in the cage where it is located to maintain humidity, otherwise it will dry up ("oviparous organ", I don't remember what it is called who will tell me I will be grateful), otherwise she will not be able to lay eggs as I recently did. And it is convenient to feed them by plucking the flowers of dandelions, or other yellow flowers and dripping there, and with the unwinding of the proboscis to fool around unnecessarily, they eat themselves!
