Just keep checking on them, and hopefully you will be able to catch one in the act of hatching. Good luck!

Usually, when you're not looking!

haha, Phil is close to right, I have hatched probably a thousand, they usually hatch for me right at or about 10:30 am eastern stand time. other than that,& right at about 8:30 pm at night, this was notice by a few other forum members when I posted about it about 6 months ago and they noticed the same thing.

for me all the ootheca i have ever hatched did so before noon

I've noticed that most of mine hatch during the crepusculan hours (dawn and dusk), but it is not uncommon for one to hatch mid-day.

In my experiences they only hatch at nigh when it is cool and quiet. I have never really seen mine hatch mid day.

ive only had a few hatch(about 5 ooths) and ALL have hatched early early morning, like 6am pacific time, but it takes so long when i wake up about 8-9am there are still huge amounts for me to catch, and man is it the coolest thing to witness.

I've had em hatch at all hours. Never seen any sort of pattern.
