Here is my plan on how to store my ooths and if anything is not correct or anything would gladly like to know!

1.get ooth

2.prepare container with wet towel in bottom and put ooth inside

3.stick ooth in container and put it in fridge or someplace cool and safe

4.wait early or middle to late spring or early summer

5.incubate ooth for 4-6 weeks or so in spring or early summer

6.when ooth hatches deal with the nymphs

Is there anything I am missing in my plan of winterizing ooths?

 
Yea, the wet towell will only be wet for a short time, when u put in fridge, keep in something that can breath and mist 3 times a week. And u only have to wait if u want to, spring does not matter to an ooth in the fridge, they dont know the time.

 
If you plan on releasing these in the wild just stick it outside and it will hatch in spring.
