L1 Empusa pennata

[glock34girl]

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the first hatch of Empusa Pennata. Looks to be six with one more coming out of the ooth. They are amazing and I can't wait until Henry's hatch so we can get some macros. They have their little spots like thier parents, they are a soft white just out of th ooth and faster than one can imagine. A tad large in my opinion. Size of perhaps an L2 H. majuscula? You can clearly see their cones and feathered antennae.

:clap: :clap: :clap: woot! Congratz on the hatch! It looks like the male did do his job afterall are they communal or do you have to worry about the female snapping them up?

Really glad to see you pull this off, I knew you could do it and it go's to show all that paranoia you hit me with hour after hour, day after day was all just my headache to deal with not yours. Great success for the hobby now deny the hoard and be sure you have stock to raise and trade the others so we can mix up the bloodlines and continue the species.

They do remind me of violins the mimicry is similar as well however the adults seem to have more color than the gongy. The female seemed to watch the hatch which I thought was odd. But she never showed aggression. Yens journal suggested that he kept them together with the parent without problem in regards to the faccicata but I didn't want to risk it since the hatch is so limited and I really want these to get established so you guys can have them they are VERY enjoyable!

Congratz! Great job, really. Not many people can claim to have breed this species. How many ooths has she laid thus far?

 

[glock34girl]

Nice job. congratulations. that is amazing how fast that ooth hatched.

They hatched literally within hours of the exact two week mark! How insane!

That's crazy! Such fast breeders

These will easily stay as wanted as Gongy and Idolos are. They are beautifull displays as adult. They will make for a new challenge for most we just have to get them to the next Generation now.

I wonder if they'll be all female and this might be a parthenogenetic species.

why? they have been bred by uk members.

She never witnessed the male connect, so it's a possibility.

 

[Bug Trader]

They also connect fast, as in everyone who witnessed it said it was a very fast connection so I wouldn't go parthenogenetic talk yet as I know for a fact her male tried for hrs. Its a big success don't cast doubt until we have proof otherwise.
