Ghost ooths, normal or not

DinehCaveman · Jan 4, 2014

the ooth on the right is the first ooth laid on 12-31 the longer one to the left was laid on 1-2-14 and the ooth on top of that one was laid on 1-3-14, all from same female. She matured on 11-23-13 and had been mated on 12-9 and 12-24, she sure took her time laying the ooths. Isn't there supposed to be a thread like filament at the end?

And one more thing my other ghost matured on 11-16-13 and has been mated on 12-6 , 12-14, and 1-1-14, and still has not laid any ooths. This is very strange to me.

This is how the ooth looks that my mated female laid today

my oldest female(the one with curled wings) finally laid a nice big ooth just about 2.5", after 53 days of adulthood and mating 3 times.

Update; the double decker ooths hatched out 1 nymph each today. Waiting on more in the next few days, hopefully. And just tonight my "one and only" male passed away, he got one last mating three days ago and was able to mate with my last mature female last week.
