Thank you!

I have 3 femelles. I don't know when the are adult because there are no wings, wright?

They are also parthenogenetic? So they told me...

 

[Ben.M]

Yep, that sp. is parthenogenetic

The problem about parthenogenetic species is that the hatching rate is not as high supposedly as a mated one, because of lack of diversity.

I find it wierd that they still eat each other. Since they are like clones, it would be like killing themselves.

Ben good find, those pics are probably 2 yrs old!

Hatching rate for these species is about 20-40 nymphs, the interesting part is they don't hatch all at once. The ooth needs high temp. and daily misting.

You will know when they matured into adult, adult female has small wings. (see circle in pic below)
