FYI just happen to get a pic of him/her eating their first meal hasnt even bean a few hours yet haha, hungry right outta the ooth it seems.

Geez eating that fast! You got some healthy little guys on your hands. Best of luck!

 

[KuroKaze]

Thank's hope the rest are just as eager ^^

I can't tell if they are living together or not but just to let you know, hatchlings can live together until L3 without major cannibalism.

Yea I already know, i have the ooths in 32oz deli cups rather get them separate while i can did not realize how small these things were going to be first born afraid if there's 30-100 of them running around in a deli cup might be a pain to feed lol once they all hatch i'll end up opening the cup in a butterfly cage to make it easier to feed. Thanks though ^^

 

[Connor]

Yeah that is what I'm probably going to do with my otomantis hatch. Too many for a deli cup lol. Let us know when the rest hatch!

 

[KuroKaze]

Yea especially at the size they are if they got away from me i wouldnt be able to find them again lolol, yea my whole family sitting here anxiously waiting i read usually a couple days after the scouts the rest start to come, didnt think this ooth would hatch either was a few hole's in it when she laid it not sure what that was all about . As always i'll keep ya posted ^^

Update: Ooth hatch! Finally very strange lol. Cat happened to knock one of my cups over without me realizing it so the thing sat in my dresser past month and hatched in there noticed babies running around my mantid table.. Had about 30, doesnt make sense lol not sure why the ones in the cups that have been misted couple times a week havent hatched but the one that was just sitting in my room did. Think i might take the next few that are laid (yea the females are still going) might just stick them in a butterfly cage and let em go appears i may not have to mist them if their in my rooms open air.

 

[Connor]

Congrats on your new babies! Hilarious that they hatched out just lying on your dresser. 

 

[Ocelotbren]

Maybe they smelled freedom and knew they had to seize the opportunity...

 

[KuroKaze]

Yea its crazy lmao here it is what  6 or so hours later and man im still finding them around my room >< had to pull out my drawer's and look really close lolol, so far all in all from what i've found have about 20 nymphs and found about 10 dead ones from where the ooth was just laying upside down and they couldnt come out right crazy how they even managed to get out with it just laying on the bottom of the dresser i guess life will find a way haha, got the ooth it a open aired container just incase anymore decide to come out, been a interesting day to say the least.

 

[Aristalochia]

Haha running for freedom.. I hope you found/find em all. Congrats on the hatch. It's fun raising them but they sure are tiny. I just found a stray  Miomantis nymph hangin' out on the edge of my cup of juice..

 

[KuroKaze]

Yeah I managed to get them all had a few losses few from being trapped other few from my kitten. Still no luck on the ooths in incubation cups put a few freshly laid ooth in just open air in my room in a net since there seems to be enough natural humidity in my room we'll see how this goes in a month or so it'll give my answer. Happy breeding.

 

[Aristalochia]

How did the hatching go, did the net work better than the cups?
