i was getting rose bush clippings for some of my bugs and i just happen to notice this
after finding this one i found 3 others on the bush!!!! i didnt even check the rose bush on the other side of my front door.
since there are 3 i dont mind harvesting one
Dude thats a cool find! Now incubate that sucker. All you need is a container of some sort or even a paper bag folded over and taped closed. I hatched some ooths last spring. I just couldnt keep them from canabalizing each other. I got a few past their third molt but Im going to try again this year using different containers and seperating them into smaller groups. If you do hatch em your gonna need a ton of ff's and then you switch to houseflies after they get big enuff.
is it like a praying mantis, just in a cucune form? i find prayin mantis's all over in the summer but being under a foot of snow ill have to wait for now.
that makes alot of since. lots of bees buzzing in the fall
ill "try" not to harvest these, but i will snag a few babies when they do start hatching out....or maybe i will try to hatch them inside and just release most of them.
Nice! i just incubated a few ootheca, chinese and common european. they are super fun pets, and it is great cause you can let them go and they help your garden ^-^ I have been keeping them for a few years now, various species.
