pathogenic reproduction of cilnia humeralis

[Rango100]

Hi guys! 

I have just had one hatchling from this species out of know here from my female, who has never had contact with a male. I have never even owned a male of this species. It appears to be healthy and I'm amazed. I didn't think that this species could reproduce in this way. Here are some photos. I would ask if anyone has had a similar experience?

Interesting…

I’ve heard of this in a few random species, usually they don’t live long but give it a shot and try to raise it. I’m curious if it makes it to adult if it will be parthenogenic as well.

yeah I've never heard of it in this species though.

pathogenic and parthenogenic mean different things...

Sorry! I meant parthenogenic. Never seen it in this species though
