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... :eek: :mad:

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??

:eek: I just thought those little l'eggs were stuck to bad eggs!!! Well, then I guess it happened to me too!

I JUST separated the scrofies, guess I should take some pics and update! :( Been too busy causing trouble! :eek:
