Ooths release how many?

[blitzmantis]

I am recieving a Taiwanese Mantis ooth and I am wondering how many to expect hatch out. 50? 100? 10000? 1? What is the average amount of nymphs that hatch out the ooths?

:lol: u scared me a lot there. I didn't think i'd be okay with about 100 cups. 1500 would be a problem.

wild guess your have 20 - 100.,,your be able to have them all in the same cup/tank /net cage untill there 3rd instar min as long as u have lots of food..i have 15 flowermantis living together at L5 with no deaths..they been living together since they hatched..u need lots of food tho..make sure u have 2 cultures started early

It is a Taiwan Flower Mantis ooth. Is this species cannibalistic like most mantids or can I keep them together.

Well they we are. Not from the same person. That is my analysis.

I had 39 nymphs that hatched out of my ooth,they were good kept with each other until L2 then when some of them reached L3 before the other ones is when I had to seperate them due to the bigger ones munching on the little ones.In the end I have ended up with 6 that are adults and 5 more which are subadult .Raised mainly on FF some of them have yet to eat a small cricket .the ones that would not eat crickets have eating really small mealworms. I lost more to shed problems than munching on each other.

Okay, thanks.

They must be small mantids, FFs in the subadult stage... Oh well, I am prepared, lots of cups and I'm gonna order some cultures when the ooth is about to hatch (4-6 weeks apparently).

I had ± 45 nymphs out of my oothecaes.

I kept mine together till L5, then I split them in females and males.

Now I have 6 fertilized females and a lot of oothecae, 3 have hatched already

This male is trying out a different pose, not very safe But he's still alive

 

[blitzmantis]

:lol: that's is pretty funny. I'm trying to start getting into breeding but since I have no money or job (14 years old) I can't. One ooth is a good start.

 

[macro junkie]

im guessing there same size as walbergie..
