[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 274747, member: 8168"] Thanks, I'm happy with how they turned out. Yeah with a close-up like that I know she is mite free if nothing else. :D Same here, I've experimented with [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_stacking"]focus stacking[/URL] but was unable to get usable results due to stability problems - but that will be solved soon. Yeah she laid 6 and I found 3 wild ooths (same species) too. I plan on saving a few of Susanna's ooths for spring hatching, her latest ooths, so she will have some babies still running around outside. So even then that means if all the ooths are fertile I should have anywhere from 70 to 560 soon.. at least from the 10 to 80 nymphs per ooth rate I've read. It would be great to see that many nymphs, it would be a stunning sight. I'll definitely will have to find many of them new homes as there is not enough space in the entire house for that many babies. :blink: From what I read, properly fed there will be no problems housing them together for the first molt, afterwards it will be a horror show - as their not a communal species (are any really?) Although it seems rates of the nymphs surviving to L2 to L3 stage will be much less than the original hatch rate. [/QUOTE]
