My first Gambian flower ootheca started hatching today. This is the first ootheca that I have ever hatched. I cannot believe how small these little guys are. Does anyone know how many little guys I should be expecting from a ootheca?

 
Congratulations. I have read that they hatch small and remain small. So small that they still require fruit flies up to L4.

Anyway, good luck with them; they are beautiful when adults.

Tony, there are about 10-15 nymphs coming out from each ootheca typically. They are very small but no problem hnadling D. Melanogaster (small ff).
