Pseudoharpax Virescen Hatched :-)

[AndyWatt]

I had two Pseudoharpax Virescen Gambian ootheca's hatch, the first hatched last night with 10 nymphs emerging and the second hatched today and produced 14 nymphs.

To celebrate new hatchlings I decided to let one of them have a drink

Glad to know they hatched out alright Andy. 10-15 nymphs per ooth is normal hatching rate. Larger ooth size sometimes yield as many as 25 nymphs but that is rare.

That would be something to see, a drunk mantis.

It reminds me that Jackie Chan has one of his drunken Mantis Kung Fu in one of his 70s movie 8)
