Brunners Nymphs

[Andrew]

The ooth I got from Rick a while back has finally hatched. If I remember correctly, I think the date on the vial said it was laid on 10/14/07. So that's a little over 7 months. The first nymph hatched yesterday. Four more hatched this morning.

 

[Rick]

You suck The one I kept for myself never hatched.

 

[ABbuggin]

Save that ooth Andrew. When I was hatching these ooths last year, the ooths would hatch for up to a week.

Poopie, I put mine in the garage, Rick is right, you stink :lol:

 

[britchris]

very nice pics ty for sharing

 

[Andrew]

Haha, sorry you guys didn't have any luck! I had mine in the greenhouse for a while where it went through some very hot and humid conditions. Maybe that was what did the trick.

Two more nymphs hatched this morning. Yen says on his site that he had one hatch almost a year after the first hatch, so I'll be keeping the ooth around a while just in case.

How about some Idolomorpha pictures?

Awesome! There's still hope for the one Rick sent me too!

What are you feeding them?

My Iris Oratoria nymphs look a lot like these.

 

[Peter Clausen]

B. borealis is one of my favorite all time mantids. They'll hatch out for more than a week, in my experience. I'm not so sure you shouldn't keep the ooth around for at least a month! Please let us know when the last one comes out.

an ooth i got 1 week ago just hatched,they are great little guys and have lots of personality. :blink:

 

[spawn]

I have four hatched out over the course of 5 days so far. I really don't know why anyone would toss the egg case away. Just stick it in a small cup and leave it alone. As someone already posted, Yen wrote about having one hatch almost a year after the first hatchling.

 

[Andrew]

Some more hatched out yesterday. The others are L2/3 now.

 

[hibiscusmile]

I have two Iris ooths and both are hatching at one nymph per day! Will it never end

 

[OGIGA]

I'm about to post up some pictures I just took of my iris oratoria. Keep an eye out on my minigallery!

Ogiga: what stage are your nymphs?
