[4] Chelisoches morio are most active at night, though normal behavior also occurs during the day.
After the nymphs have finished molting to the second instar, they disperse and maternal care is concluded.
In this position, the male pushes his cerci beneath the subgenital plate of the female, and their genitalia come into contact.
A pair of C. morio can mate 2-8 times and copulation can last from minutes to an hour.
Multiple matings is beneficial to the female as it leads to higher brood counts and increases the proportion of viable eggs.
This feature makes C. morio a promising candidate for biological control, as it hunts and kills many agricultural pests.
C. morio has shown a huge amount of predation on pests during all larval stages.
[5] The high prey consumption rates have made C. morio a focus of many different studies, ranging from the volume of pest intake,[5] to their life cycle,[6] and even testing different rearing techniques[4] to most effectively protect agricultural land.
