Default Alalomantis muta IGM 132

Hi
Today I had the chance to take a picture of a hatching ooth of Alalomantis muta. They hatch out as green as spring :-)

Hi
I haven't yet counted them in total, I guess it's about 60.
The firsat layed ooth contained 90-100 nymphs each, the later layed ooth seem to contain 40-70 larvae each. This now was ooth number 6 or 7 of one of the girls. It seems each girl can lay bout 8 ooth in her life.

Some people from UK already pointed out that they wanna buy some on 13. March in Hamm on the show (see advertisements). So you have a chance to get them in culture soon. If I will have some overplus left after the show and the weather will become warmer, I can also ship them. Or maybe you ask somebody here in the forum to bring some for you from Hamm. Some people here seem to go to Hamm regularely.
