Anyone have any tips on how to incubate Sybilla ooths? I just got 3 in the mail....

Thanks,

I would say: hot and dry (40% RV, 30°C), I have no experience with the species though..

Thanks,

Well, in reply to this, had one of my Syb ooths hatch today

Had about 20 nymphs, and got a couple more still hatching. They are TINY, like little ants, and some dam delicate!

Might be a task to keep these little guys alive...

Cheers,

Ian

Ahh cool! That must be pretty interesting.....can they eat small fruit flies? Also, do you have any photo's of L1? Mine should be hatching in about 2 weeks or so

Thanks,

Eros

Il go get some pix now

Cheers,

Ian

That was painful...and lost the bugger in the process!

Oh well...

Anyway, there was a Hymenopus on the plant, and the dam thing crawled on its head! I thought id take a shot..

And just the nymph of the leaf...

Teeny things!

Cheers,

Ian

Hello Eros,

I think you will do good by keeping them at around 75-80 and spray only at night,so the water will evaporate through the day.

good luck

Would it be a good idea to keep some substrate in the bottom of the tank like sand or vermiculite to hold the humidity?
