Babies !!

[Digger]

Had some ooths in diapause in an outside storage shed. Brought them out about two weeks ago. Thought they were all dead since I didn't mist them at all while in storage. One of Tiffany's ooths hatched about 10 Tenodera sinensis nymphs last night. All but four died. They are now in the custom nymph condos. Leonardo, Hercules, Mu and Pegasus. Pegasus got his name because he stood proud, antennae high, on a dowel in the condo. He was the first to grab a fruit fly even though he's barely a day old. Just wasn't planning on another family.

Yay! I am glad you decided to keep them instead of putting them up for adoption

How are they doing now? They are special being Tiffany's babies.

One died yesterday (one of Tiffany's) so that leaves 6 left. All the rest I decided to let go. Actually there's only one of Tiffany's left. The big hatch last Saturday was produced from a wild ooth given to me last fall by a neighbor. All of them are very plump with melanos and are recognizably larger. Should see some molting in two to four days to L2. Names are Pegasus, Papillon, Leonardo and Aristotle with two yet unnamed.
