Chinese are Awesome!

This is more of a rant than anything.  Yes I'm loaded on caffeine.

Anyways, I decided to hatch a Chinese ooth just for the sake of hatching a Chinese ooth.  It was laying on the floor of the container, zipper part mashed against the floor. I completely neglected the thing and it hatched last night.  You know how many of them died?  ZERO!  Friggin ZERO!  ALL of them made it out alive!

Sometimes it's nice to have simple species that don't require you to yank the hair off of the side of your head in order to keep them going.

Any other species that you guys keep that are super easy to hatch out?

Happy Easter Everyone!

I do love my  Tenoderas , some what high in hatch numbers and early mortality tho .... S

Hahaha as a kid I hatched out a number of Tenodera sinensis ootheca and I never did anything with them outside of hanging them up in my containers and they still hatched wonderfully. People complain about this species mortality rate, but I've never had a problem getting robust individuals to raise up to adulthood. The fact they are the most widespread species in North America should state something about their vitality.

It's kind of amazing when you think about it, how durable these guys are in comparison with other species. They're overlooked here in the US because they're all over the place, however, they're still one of my favorite species.  This was like my first species I'd ever worked with and the internet wasn't even around at that time, so I had to stick with just them for quite some time.

These guys ARE very prone to boning out at L1, however, it's possible to get every single one of them over to L2.

Nature survives on percentages , we have Sockeye salmon  who drop 3,000 eggs with 4 to 6 individuals attaining adult hood.... S
