[QUOTE="PlayingMantis, post: 288574, member: 7332"] I haven't been checking this thread lately. But yeah, only 2 nymphs ever hatched out of the ooth. I could see the eggs were fertilized because there were eyeballs inside, but they never hatched. I'm not sure what was the problem. The female laid other ooths that developed eyeballs but never hatched. Upon cutting open the ooths, I discovered dead, fully developed embryos, which was really heartbreaking. Since then I bought another ooth which hatched 12 nymphs at around midnight. Normally ooths hatched in the morning so I was surprised to see little nymphs right before I went to bed. The next day, another little nymph emerged. Currently I have another ooth incubating and it has ~20 eyeballs. Glad to hear of your success, Karrie! [/QUOTE]
