Can anyone direct me to some information on species which require a diapause? Please! I`m trying different net searches but can`t find anything specific relating to Hierodula spp. It`s possible that my Nepalese Hieros are one of those species that `do` diapause and i`m wondering if the time period is fixed or if it`s possible to hurry them up in any way?
The species I`ve got is tentatively identified as Hierodula patellifera patellifera cf etc I `w/c -ed` an ooth from Nepal (Kathmandu) in april, raised 84 nymphs to adult (hard work!) , mated several and gave many pairs away to breeders. I`m left with 5 girls now who each churn out an ooth every 21 days. Anyone out there keeping a similar species? Cheers!
