A couple of months ago I captured some adult "Large milkweed bugs", and they produced some eggs for me. Three of them survived, which I know is horrible, but I was successfull nevertheless.
Two of them have molted into adult today, and I still have one subadult. So far, ive got one male and one female. {D

Newly molted adult female:


The eggs that she hatched out of:


It took only 36 days from the time I took the picture of those eggs, to the time that the girl up there matured.

Thanks,
Andrew
