Sphodromantis lineola ooth hatch

[patrickfraser]

I managed to catch a lineola ooth hatch with some pretty good photos. I thought I would share, as they came out pretty good. I cropped them down, but who knows when photobucket will update them. lol. I love the ones with the nymphs heads just slipping out of the ooth.

I love to watch them hatch. Like little worms coming out of the sac. Then they stretch out their legs and they're like zombies. (fly) BRAINSSS!!!!

That's cute

I didn't thought Aline looks like that a few months ago ^^

They grow up fast.

Awesome Patrick!!!

So cool you caught it!

I was worried about cracking the lid and disturbing the "danglers", but it was ok. I actually had one nymph make it out during the last shot (which is why it was the last). They were starting the "spread".

Emergence day!

Just imagineThey mimic ants in the wild

So when a bird or something sees them hatch, they must be thinking "so thats where ants come from"...

:lol:
