Realy Ramdom nymph.

[robo mantis]

Ok I just got home and checked on all my chinese eggs and there are 4 eggs in one container. 2 of the eggs are hatched and 2 are not. All the nymphs were released and i looked throught the whole thing to see if there were extra nymphs and there were none. Now it has been 4 days since they hatched and there is 1 nymph in there?!?!?!?! So i checked the unhatched ooth and no little egg hanging off it. Do you think it just hatched late?? All i know is that i'm keeping this weird mantis lol.

I had that happen too a Stagmomantis Limbata ooth, They all hatched I cleared em out of the jar and 3 days later I had 2 extra nymphs in there so I kept them seperate. Then with the chinese ooth I had in the Apple tree, Thay hatched 5/2 and yet I continued to check it everyday, I found one little guy with his foot stuck to the foam of the ooth over the weekend. lol I called him clubfoot because the back 2 feet were stuck together, hes ok now tho.

Yeah, it's probably a late hatch.

It seems like all of them are hatching twice lol

Don't know it glitches sometimes because the forum was down recently.

Maybe someone should make sure the clock is working properly.
