John, try to keep the ootheca on the plant if possible, you'll get a better hatch rate . Not told anyone this before as it's not usually practical
Cheers Peeps.

Rob, I can leave the ooth on the plant but how do I get the heat and humidity up and stop the emerging nymphs doing one lol.

Put the plant in a big enough RUB container and warm it with a spot bulb perhaps.

My second female mated this afternoon, I saw them connected in my lunch hour but when I came home from work he was still riding low and clinging tight.



Hope he get off soon so she can lay.

How often do they lay Rob? If well fed, she has slowed her eating this last day and is real fat so I popped her back on the yucca again tonight.
