infertile ootheca?

[bassist]

she wasn't mated. she could fly when I caught her. she never mated and I know that!

So you monitored her entire life as an adult even prior to catching her?

she maybe was mated, we'll never know. but it is possible fr infertile egg cases to hatch a few nymphs, but it's rare. I caught her when the males had died off in the wild.

Please, you did not take my advice to read people's posts more carefully.

she was mated, it wouldn't of hatchet if she wasn't mated. we know that for sure. and when you cought her she could've mated a long time ago.

Yes, she was & yes, we do know as a matter of fact. Nymphs = fertile female in Tenodera sp.

but it is possible fr infertile egg cases to hatch a few nymphs, but it's rare.

Never never never in Tenodera sp. Where did you here about this claim?

I caught her when the males had died off in the wild.

That is not justification for her alleged infertility. The male(s) mated with her & died before you reached the destination. Females live longer than males anyway.

lol maybe all of the males mated with her in the wild and she ate them all thats why they are all dead. (joking btw )
