I’ve just managed to pair two deriplatys desiccata’s and was trying to find info on the number of oothecas laid?.
same question for ghost mantids? Just    Managed to pair two phyllocrania paradoxa and was wondering about numbers laid.

I take it 30 nymphs per ooth is a good number for both species?.

thanks

 
Deroplatys can lay anywhere from 2-6+ ooths, depending on temps, age, places to lay, and the individual mantis. I've had ghosts lay up to 12 or 13 ooths. Ghosts usually hatch out around 30 nymphs but I'm not sure about deroplatys.
