[QUOTE="PeterF, post: 145843, member: 4239"] On #2. Sure, entirely possible "could colder outdoor weather prolong or distort the developmental process in some late bloomers". As for difference w/ in a block. The temp difference for an egg mass is potentially variable w/ in a block due to actual location. Shade, other cooling factors. There is also the issue of a difference in times they were laid. I am uncertain that has much of an effect after wintering, but I would expect it to. Temp, and food intake. Those are the two primary influences on arthropod development. And can be variable enough with in 1000 feet. But, what was your fall like last year? Could oothes have been laid unusually late? (all this takes is relatively mild weather, this year we still had europeans out after the first two light frosts). [/QUOTE]
