Brunneria borealis ooths not hatching!!

[ShieldMantid1997]

Keep updating, i am sure it will hatch, with ooths its hard to know who's fault it is because it could be seller's fault or it could be the buyer's because they didn't incubate right.

Therefore it would be better for you to just wait it out

Mine hatched around two weeks ago. They hatch one by one? The first two died, and a third got eaten (they can barely eat a fly a quarter of their size, but will eat a fellow mantis their same size?) I actually got this ooth from Carey about two months ago, and was thinking about asking for a replacement until they hatched. I guess they just take a long time to hatch.

I just had 10 more hatch! Some of the others are moulting to L2.

 

[CoolMantid]

Mine still have not hatched.

 

[Sneaky123]

How long does it take for them to molt?

 

[gripen]

5 or 6 days.

I know this is an old post, just wanted to chime in that the nymphs hatch out over the whole summer unless you diapause. Mine started to hatch in June and continued a few at a time for months.

This year I will diapoause to see how that works. Supposedly they will all hatch at once.

I have a few ooths for sale if anyone is still looking.

I diapaused mine and they hatched over several months.

i diapaused mine and 2 hatched in july (2 single nymphs) , but still waiting on others

Weird. Yen told me they hatch as a group if properly diapaused. At least I think it was Yen. Nothing on his site about this.

Even still, I'll try it this time and see if it helps. I've had a culture going for years now. Ooths always hatch for me.

Also, ooths from Carey may have actually been from Yen. I couldn't say for sure. You'd have to ask her.

So either way, I have 2 ooths for sale if anyone would like to try again, and I'll have nymphs for sale again in spring.

I did not buy from Carey. I won them as a prize from Yen.

Should i try diapausing again?

Should i try diapausing again?

I wouldnt

U might damage developing babies

Maybe increase temp amd humidity

I still think the ooths r infertile
