Brunneria borealis ooths not hatching!!

[brancsikia339]

It's been over a month since I've taken the ooths out of diapause and they still aren't hatching! It's about 70 degrees where they are right now and nothing is happening!! What do I do??

Sometimes it takes a bit more than usual. In my case with Mantis Religiosa species (i'm not sure if they are still in diapause) they generally hatch only about 2 months after a favorable weather and temperature settles. Last year they hatched after a thunderstorm, which is an indication of reasonably high temperature and moisture. The nymphs themselves pretty much decide when it's best to hatch.

Maybe they're not fertile :tt2:

Try raising the temp more to get them to hatch faster

HAHA. Nice try Agent A!

I took mine out 2 weeks ago, they are at 85 F

Those can take awhile.

Still not hatching! I have fruit flies in their prime what should i do to make them hatch faster???

It's only been 3 days since you started the topic! My personal opinion just let them be with the necessary temps and moisture. My guess is they'll only hatch around the middle of May

mine are not hatching either, I set them out at 3 25 I think, but not in Bugatorium so not sure. Waiting.....waiting.........waiting.......................waiting....

 

[Chivalry]

Thought I'd commiserate... me too. I did not put mine in cold temps.

With ooths you have to have patience and lots of it. That particular species can take months.

Same with me. It may take into summer!

 

[psyconiko]

Mine usually take 5-6 months before hatching(room temp,sprayed randomly,no diapause).

 

[brancsikia339]

Alright. It's almost into July and they still haven't hatched. Now what do i do?
