Parymenopus consolidated

[ismart]

Update: first ooth produced out of 5 laid so far hatched today, 25-30 nymphs and counting, still hatching so we'll see how the end count works out? This ooth was the one I had doubts on so I feel pretty good about the others.

If anyone wants to put in a advanced order PM me for details.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

My female is extremely fat and is starting to hang her abdomen. I hope that she isn't eggbound I heard these are prone to getting eggbound

I think your fine, just mist her well, but mine do drop a ooth every 2-3 weeks so far. Is she eating?

Oh yes, and she is fat

Newest update: My parymenopus finally connected today. They've been connected for about 2 hours so far. The only concern I have at the moment is the female. She's been rejecting her food lately and eating only one or 2 flies every other day. She used to eat a lot more.

At least she accepted matings! My female had connection issues

Congrats! What was the final count of nymphs??

 

[angelofdeathzz]

19 nymphs but it was the first ooth laid from both girls so I'm more hopeful for her 2nd, the other girls 1st should hatch next though.

That's still not a bad turn out. My girls first ooth only had one emerge. That was still definitely my fault tho.

 

[brancsikia339]

Still waiting on second ooth. Nothing from the first yet. Getting worried about my female not laying

 

[mantid_mike]

My girl is holding out on me. It's been almost a week since she was mated and she hasn't laid an ooth. She's also became slower and less willing to eat.

She finally laid an ooth. I thought she was just going to die. She had not eaten in like two weeks was clearly not eggbound. She was mated by 8 different males. If this ooth is not fertile i'm quitting the hobby! :lol:

 

[brancsikia339]

Nice! 8 DIFFERENT MALES? that thing is gonna blow up with nymphs!

 

[brancsikia339]

I found my female standing next to a dot that looks like the start of an ooth. Why would she stop laying?

You've got the snooki of mantids.

 

[mantid_mike]

Ratchet mantis.

 

[brancsikia339]

I recently traded with mantid_mike and got another male. So far, 2 connections! 1 of them lasted only a few minutes, while the other lasted throughout the night!

 

[ismart]

She is now up to 10 different males. :lol:

10??? Wow! That is gonna be the most fertile yellow orchid in existence!
