How many males does it takes to do the 'job'?
A strange encounter with a Group of Phasmids from the sub-family of Lonchodinae. 3 males were trying to mate with a female, but looks like unsuccessful based on the positions of their genitalia.
This Phasmids were seen at a high elevation of 2,600 masl, pretty small in size probably due to dwarfism related to colder temperatures from higher altitudes. Night temperatures was as low as 8C during the trip.

but I think its lucky girl to get so much attention :D, and her offspring will be from the strongest male! Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
Probably they are still jostling for position, and that's the advantage for the female, she will end up with the strongest of them :D Posted 5 years ago
