Sixth Ooth !

[Digger]

Nikki putting down number 6 ! Tell me how a 95 yr old had the stamina for this ! Cool that she's ejecting onto the side of a critter carrier - you can study the laying process. Can also see a couple egg cells, but unfortunately know they are unfertilized.

Congrats Digger. And GO NIKKI!

Glad to see your old beauty still has kick in her.

Congrats...despite her never mating, at least you have a healthy long lived mantis that is doing only what is natural...

I remember reading somewhere that they can reach 10 or so ooths, that was before I entered the hobby

You go girl!

wow!!! u must've collected her so early in the season she wasnt harmed by any kind of cold weather (i usually dont find these things until it starts getting cold at night and the cold has already started damaging them

there should be a pool on the forum about how many ooths she will lay

i'd bet my $$ on 8 ooths but one never knows...
