Miomantis ooth hatched

[Ben.M]

I bought a Mio ooth from Ian less than a week ago and it hatched on saturday :lol:

I've counted 117 nymphs but there is probs more, is this a good hatch as i was expecting 60-70

I'll put them in this today

and heres a pic of a few nymphs

Soz, i am rubbish with pics + i can only use camara on my phone :roll:

 

[Ben.M]

Btw, it has now got more sticks in it for the nymphs to hang from

Can anyone tell me the latin name for these mios, it comes from Gambia and i really need to know the latin name :?

 

[robo mantis]

[Ben.M]

4 days :lol:

I bought it from Ian not knowing when it was laid and so i got a nice suprise on saturday

That's a good hatch Ben!! Have the fruit flies ready they will vacuum up a good size ff culture.

A m8 of mine sent me some flys as i wasnt prepared for it hatching but the are off of a compost heap so they are gut loaded but they are the same length as the nymphs, so i havnt seen any flys getting eaten :roll:

But i'm sure they will when they get hungry enough

I think that the nymphs are not hungry just after hatching, it takes some time before that.
