[QUOTE="SSimsswiSS, post: 272847, member: 3890"] I to find that Lobata females hang out inches from the ooths they lay. I keep my adult females in 18"x18"x4' tall screen enclosures. Ooths are usually laid in the mid range of cage on a branch. Females prior to laying often travel entire length of cage. And then hang out close to egg case once laid. This species has been the only very visible behavior I have seen in the many species I've kept over the year. While some flower species might stay in the general location they deposit their eggs a day or two, Lobata female will stay close by for weeks, never moving to far away. Maybe there is a certain parasitic wasp in the wild, that the females guard against? [/QUOTE]
