Spawn, i can always rely on you to say the nicest things cheers mate.
Ubb, good idea i'll see what i can do, might be in a bit of a state now but ?
My guess would be a sphoddie but you never know
I lost most of them, you might be able to see some struggling to break out of the hatching cowl? and later loads more died as free moving 1st instars, they had plenty of appropriately sized flies but they became listless, i didnt see any feeding and they died too, i have 3 left i hope they are opposite sexes?

50% died in the hatch the others afterwards, humidity was slightly higher than normal parameters but had been dryer two days earlier.
Conditions were not right though!
Cheers mate, so do you :blink:
