Stagmomantis floridensis hatch

aNisip · Apr 17, 2013

Good evening all! Two days ago I came home to a hatched Stagmomantis floridensis ooth with ~100 nymphs. The one ooth laying female I attained, layed three ooths. (11/21/12,12/04/12,12/20/12 respectively) The oldest ooth (11/21/12) was the one that hatched. During the time inbetween, I had them experiencing outside environmental conditions, until about two months ago when I took it inside away from the warm, then cold, then warm temps...to give them more consistent temps...

I did not get a chance to take better, more detailed shots; only what you see (as I was in a rush)...

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Andrew

P.S. They dont really get fat like most other L1 nymphs after eating an entire hydei...its like it just disappears

Are those bigger than normal stagmomantis when they hatch? Look like it!

Congrats, nice hatch

Congratulations, Andrew. What a cute crowd (until they start devouring each other). I've got 2 wild ooths in a 5 gal tub. If, by chance they BOTH hatch, I'll be in a state of panic. Not an experienced father like you.
