Orchid Ooth

[padkison]

Couple questions.

About how long until hatch in a room that goes from 72F at night to 80F by day?

Is this a decent size for an Orchid ooth?

What are the hatch sizes on these?

I think Yen said 35-52 days. I thought my ooth is small, but yours looks smaller...

That's a good one right there. Mine took about 35 days.

Can't wait to see all those 'devil' babies! :lol:

Congrate Perry! That ootheca is slightly less than 2 inches which is the average ootheca size, it will still give you a good hatch rate of 50+ nymphs. All the best. Now it is just the wait, but it shouldn't take very long due to the Summer heat.

 

[OGIGA]

I can't wait for mine to hatch too.

Then you have to post pictures of the devil babies, OGIGA!

Of course! I can't wait. Oh yeah, I need to get some fruit fly cultures going.... I don't want the babies to starve...

Get two ff cultures ready just in case, i'm in need of ff right now actually after some ootheca hatched out sooner than I thought and caught me off guard. :?
