Yesterday 1 nymph hatched out of my decent sized Idolomorpha Lateralis ootheca, should I be expecting anymore and when should I give up on it?

Yes, you should expect only a few more. Unfortunately, in all, the amount you receive will be pretty low. Sorry about that. :(

 
Yeah I think they only hatch about 10. I'll update here if anymore hatch:). The hatchling is really odd looking, it has a long neck and a little abdomen, I will get pictures soon.

I'm getting an adult pair off Ian anyway:).

Well, the best hatch out with mine I. lateralis was 14 nymphs - they often hatch over in short intervals, so some may pop out.

 
No more tonight :( . Doesn't look like i'm getting anymore. I'll continue to incubate it though.

On the upside my one nymph is doing well :) .

I had two ooths of that species first hatched with 6 nymphs and the second with 12 but the second at first hatched with 9 and next day 3 more came out from ooth so you may have some more .
