My ootheca that ive had for over a month I got from Usmantis (which found after that order doesn't have the best rep in the hobby, but besides over pricing has always been reliable) has two female parasitoid wasps (Torymus sp.) coming out of it. What does this mean for my ooth? I havent brought it out or anything so it came with them im sure.
Update: got a reply back immediately from the seller. He said they are everywhere on wild caught ooths. However i did not know this was wild caught at all. I'm also concerned that ooths could be not fertile due to them being wild caught. Or that the nymphs in mine wont make it now there is holes and wasps in it.
Update: Researched more into it and found that the eggs should be okay, or at least most of them. Got another reply back that guarantees the ooth will hatch.
