Beeyoutiful!! I bet you want to send me about 500 albos too, huh?

The fascinating thing about this sac is that I got to witness the sperm being released first, then the eggs. I usually catch the process right at the very end when it's already tapioca. Well, here she is with the finished product, hugging it very well!

I'm wondering if our latest swarm of earthquakes "shook" the eggs out of her!!!

Terri how is she doing tonight?
Penney :clap:

Oh dear Lord Greg! I think you better buy stock in the manufacturers of the vials, I have a feeling it's going to go WAAAY up! Congratulations grandpa!

NO, not 500, when I 1st say her sack she was still mixing it and when I pulled it it was only a golf ball sized... But I do have to send you enough so you get several little curly haired girls, right?

!st the finished size
2nd the horde

Don't worry too much, these L'eggs are quite hungry and are... well... eating some of their siblings. :wall:

MizM you have all the luck! Wonderful pics! I cant wait to read the update tmw.

L'eggs? Eating? I thought they didn't eat until second instar?

Yes that is indeed a rare and well taken shot. Might I add that apart from the sizeable brood that was also a fair amount of sperm stored! D'u remember how many inserts were there?

Talk about a wrinkled butt! That lady deserves more than a few crix. Give her a giant beetle grub or a big freshly-molted hisser!

 

[Spider-man 2]

WOW! I have never seen an adbomen so shrunken! That is quite the sight. Thanks for posting them Terri!

Good luck in the vagans babies!

L'eggs? Eating? I thought they didn't eat until second instar?

Sure enough... There are some pictures here on the site but I don't remember the thread. But these little B.albo's have even ganged up, I've seen 3 l'eggs eating one. You can tell because the victim has a sibling attached to it and it starts turning black, little legs first, then their little rump starts shrinking, then brown, and finally they drop it and it is all black, but you can still see the little black legs... I couldn't manage to take a picture of it, I'll try though and then try and post it :wall:

I guess once they are 1st instar they stop eating for a little while, learn to walk, web, and be sweet little things... until they molt into 2nd instar. I wasn't especting this behavior this early either, but I had seen the pictures here so I knew it was a possibility, but as fat as Roxanne was, I didn't think these little l'eggs would need to eat their brothers and sisters...

Let's just hope it's the little girls practicing for post coital mating rituals :? :wall:



BTW, how are the little P.scrofa's? Have I missed an update on that post??


Ok...1st 2 pictures are the B.albopilosums...the dark spots are the nymph sibling rivalry

Pics 3 & 4 are the B.vagans, no l'eggs eating L'eggs here, but there is a little substrate from the sac.
