Well today I came out of my room and glanced over at the tank the orchids were in - to see a white blob on the side of the terrarium. Yes indeed, it was an ooth!
Though most likely fertile, the female still has the male riding around her back and it looks to me like he is still trying to connect. However I heard males of this species will often do this for up to a month after copulating. This female is about 5-6 weeks old, so it may indeed be a dud ooth.
Only time can tell, but what do you guys think?
