I purchased a couple of female wheel bugs from Kyle (I think it was Kyle) at the NARBC expo in Tinley Park last fall.  One died about 2 months ago but I checked this morning and found a nice little batch of eggs from the second one. 

I'm looking for information on how to care for them but so far I can't seem to find anything.  If anyone has any experience with them I would appreciate some tips.  So far all I really know is I'll have to keep the nymphs, if I am lucky enough to get any, separate.  My bug room can get pretty warm in the winter 85+ is that OK.  I'm assuming not to let them get too dry.  I'm basically like keeping them in a separate cup net to the female until I hear otherwise.

 
Congrats on the babies. I had 3 adults but no luck for me no babies . How are they doing? :D

 
Thanks bugguy  I've been keeping them over paper towel that I keep wet but I'll start misting.  Any idea on hatching time at about 75 degrees.

Cuervo-  no babies yet just eggs
