Some may still hatch out so treat it as a viable ooth, Congrats!

Not sure why but both types of Orchids seem to do this more than any other species?

Yeah i agree. But since this is the first ooth, it may not be viable, so we'll hope for the best?

 

[agent A]

i think it might be just cause it's her first ooth

i've seen this in first ooths of creos, sybillas, hierodulas and subsequent ooths were fine

Will this one hatch, though?

what did you feed her?

Because cricket can cause the mantis not able to produce enough foam

I feed her only BB flies. I would NEVER feed her a cricket! It can make flower mantids sick and even infertile!

 

[angelofdeathzz]

Yes, just like Idolo they should only get flying prey, BB's, moths, bee's(not honey), dragonflies, wasps etc.

Just got my 5th ooth from 2 girls, but the 1st one laid is pretty dark so I'm not sure about that one? Have my fingers crossed though. :clover:

No hatches yet? How many times did you mate the girls?

 

[angelofdeathzz]

Two occasions each, for 2 days per try which was 3 times mated for one and 4 on the other after the male rode the back for a day and then reconnected or a new male mounted, if that makes sense?

No hatch yet. :sweatdrop:

Probably not. It honestly does not look good. Keep it anyway. You never know? Shoot me a PM.

hmm... so this must be an accident!!!

good luck!!

 

[mantid_mike]

my parymenopus girl is getting so fat..can't wait to mate her!:

 

[brancsikia339]

nice!

 

[brancsikia339]

any updates?

 

[angelofdeathzz]

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.

Nice! In my ooth the eggs are turning orange. Good sign?

 

[angelofdeathzz]

This ooth turned darker brown than the others but I could see black dots all over the bottom, do you have a close up pic, that would help I think.
