Miomantis 'Johannesburg'

[Ben.M]

I've recently bred my Miomantis 'Johannesburg' and the female laid her(rather large) ootheca last night. I have never bred these before so I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for me regarding how to hatch an ootheca of this species,

Many thanks,

Ben.M

Nothing special, just put in a hatching container of your choice and mist them 3 times a week, keep at room temp and u should be fine,

Excellent, thank you!

Do you know how long it will take to hatch???

I just had one hatch, it took about 35 days

Brilliant, thanks

Just one more little question, I hope you don't mind :blush: Are the hatchlings big enough the feed on melanogaster(or hydei)???
