This mantis has been donated to the school I teach at.

I have been told that she is fairly old and will not last a very long time, and that she would be ready to mate as she has just shed for the last time, if I can introduce males to her now.

She eats everything put in front of her and is doing generally well.

Any suggestions as to where I can find a male or two?

Cheers

She's probably got a good few months in her! Feed her up and find her a boyfriend. Bugnation is your best bet. You could probably get him on loan. Then you send his owner the 2nd ootheca. From one successful mating she should produce 4-6 ooths

Tried bug nation - even offered one mantis keeper to send her to him but still no joy - so trying again here.

Additionally can anyone positively confirm id of this mantis from the photo?

I was first told P.affinis

And now that it may not be, because there is another very closely related type!

Cheers
