Murdering D. Hydei.... Sorry for bad surveillance picture. Budget cuts.

Hahaha... Think they can take down bigger flies?

 

[glock34girl]

Probably but I wanted to make sure they weren't overwhelmed and scared of the prey.

GG: First ooth hatched yesterday. 22 total with both parents still alive.

Wow, good work.

It looks like these guys have a really good shot at becoming common in culture

They cannabalize like crazy. Essentially, I lost a hatch and a half over night and then ooth 6-8 had extremely low numbers, like 08 per. Lol I already have an l3 so I guess if diapause is at L4 I better thing fast since its 107 here.

Diapuase is at sub or presub not L4!

That's the plan. One ooth down, five more to go.

Update: Second ooth hatched today. 21 total one stuck.

Hijack away, you'll find Iam not an overly sensitive person that cares about stuff like that. At this point you can have my nymphs.

Update: Third ooth hatched today. Number unknown, my net cube cages are swarming with pennata!
