Pseudomops septrionalis eggcase questions

[Stylopidae]

OK...I've been keeping P. septrionalis for some time now and I have a couple of questions.

1.) How long to the eggcases take to hatch?

2.) How do I know if they're viable?

I have some that I think *may* have dried out by accident.

Eggcases can take months to hatch. If they are not viable they tend to rot. Some will 'dent' as they sit there, but seem to hatch out just the same. The only two people I know of with long term colonies to ask about would be ElytraandAntennae (Orin) or BugChick.
