OK, so my Budwing just laid an ootheca. It is infertile. However, her abdomen is looking way smaller than before. How long before i should feed her? I wish she was going to have babies though.

 
Yup, she will eat like normal, become gravid (FAT) and Squirt out more. save them and use like shipping "peanuts" just to confuse forum members...lol

My Sp. Lineola lays ooths the size of my thumb! and looks very skinny after laying, last time that was how I knew to look for an ooth.

 
Feed her. Making an ooth requires a lot of energy. She will be quite hungry too.
