Hi Yen,

Are those from the new Empusa ooths Stephan was selling? They are a great looking species, what are they like to keep?

Thanks

Alan

 
Yeah they are from Stephan but not Empusa. I have never keep them before but would like to raise some to adult. Right now they are L1 and i keep them around 80F/70%, spray every other day. Have a nother adult pic of this species, i love the horn.... looks like pharoah from eygpt lol....

They are a lovely species by the looks of it, and from what I have seen of the empusa..they look similar.

In regard to the last picture, on thing that comes to my mind is 'ead :D

 
Just an update, 8 nymphs hatched from another ooth. Note - All 8 of them don't seem to walk well on the container's wall.

ANother note - They are actually from Empusa family, but of Hypsicorypha genus.
