[QUOTE="MantidBro, post: 267454, member: 6731"] I captured an Assassin Bug about a week and a half ago. Turned out to be female and laid some eggs. 2 batches, they were laid only a day apart. I'm thinking the species is Acholla multispinosa. Here's some photos of the nymphs: [IMG]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/158/e/e/acholla_multispinosa_nymphs_hatching_2_by_alexandersmantids-d7leayc.jpg[/IMG] [I]Hatching.[/I] Here they are all hatched: [IMG]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/158/0/5/acholla_multispinosa_nymphs__all_hatched_by_alexandersmantids-d7leban.jpg[/IMG] Here's a photo showing the size: [IMG]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/158/5/a/acholla_multispinosa_nymphs__size_by_alexandersmantids-d7lecs9.jpg[/IMG] [I]Tiny.[/I] Here's the mother I'd captured: [IMG]http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/149/0/b/assassin_bug__acholla_multispinosa__by_alexandersmantids-d7jr86j.jpg[/IMG] In a couple days I'm going to put some fruit flies in with the nymphs and see if they're small enough to eat. If not I'll release the Assassins. EDIT: Released them [/QUOTE]
