[Andrew]

Very nice, Rick! This is one of my favorite US species.

 

[robo mantis]

Get as many ooth as possible i want this species. Maybe i could even let some go and populate

 

[Andrew]

Lol, after a nine month incubation period I don't think you'll be wanting to let any of those nymphs go.

I wouldn't, at least.

 

[robo mantis]

Nine months? Seriously?

 

[yen_saw]

Ooo Nice one Rick

THey might start to hatch in 3 months, and continue to hatch for about 9 month. It is crazy!

 

[Rick]

So far I have four ooths.

 

[yen_saw]

The batch i had deposited ooth every 2-3 week and continue for 3-5 months. So you will have more ooth to come easily 12-15 ooth during her lifespan.

 

[john_jb1]

[joossa]

Nice close-up!

 

[Rick]

I may sell some. She lays one every ten days.

 

[robo mantis]

I want one

 

[Rick]

How much are you all willing to pay? B)

 

[spawn]

I'd give you $25 for an ooth shipped that you know was fertilized.

 

[Andrew]

that you know was fertilized.

It's a parthenogenic species. All ooths are fertile.

 

[spawn]

100% parthenogenic? No naturally occurring males?

 

[Andrew]

Yup.
