Incubation Success...

I separated my H. Bipapilla nymphs into 2 containers but it's still hard to get a solid count since they move around quite a bit. I'm guessing there's about 70ish nymphs in this hatch:

The ooth that follows is twice as big as this one but from past experience, you can't really judge an ooth by its size. I'll just have to wait and see. :cowboy:

I'll try my best. When I came home another 10 nymphs or so emerged from the ooth, so I have about 80 now.

6-29-13: another Bipapilla ooth hatched. this ooth was about twice the size of the last but beared only about 30 nymphs. These guys move incredibly fast:

7-1-13: I received some Pseudoharpax ooths in the mail from Nico. When I untaped the bottle cap that he packed the ooths in, I discovered that one of the ooths had hatched...and they all survived in that tight space! Must have hatched in my mailbox or something to survive the heat wave that we've been having. It's about 17 or 18 nymphs:
