Hi, Nikko!
I am noting the following for clarification, please correct if I am wrong on anything.
This is the horsehead grasshopper, which looks a lot like a phasmid.
The eggs are laid in "batches" not "ooths" and you can see how many you are getting,
I once got a plastic vial with moistened cotton [wool] with a dozen eggs. I understand that the number in a batch varies widely. Do you know how many eggs are in one of yr batches?
Mine died young, presumably from too low a humidity. Do you have hatching advice?
Thanks.

Hi Phil!
Yes it is the large one that looks like a phasmid.
Females are huge.up to 15 cm,sometimes a little more.
Males are half size metallic blue colored.
They can live for 18 months,fed on bramble .High Humidity level although they can tolerate dryier conditions.27°C to 30°C but room temp is fine.
They do not really mismolt but sometimes can fall down while molting due to their weight and size.I have 90% survival rate easy.
Yes the ooths are rather batches and you can count the eggs.
I believe mine should carry at least 20 to 40 nymphs.
To incubate the eggs keep them always moist.70% to 80% at room temperature
I will post better pictures

I use a LOT of fruitflies.I mean it is crazy!!So I may be interested.What species is that?I am looking for M. domestica,Caliphora(the small green one) and the big blue one(bluebottle?I forgot the exact name.)
I would also gladly accept moths of all kind....
The main concern would be shipping.
I would need at least 2 pounds

There is M. domestica...Calliphora vomitoria (bluebottle) and Phaenicia sericata(green fly) we could setup and harvest for you. I'll check postage rates for a starter culture and get back to you
