And it’s a…..NYMPH! We’ve had some activity in the last two days, with more to come.
- Mini-habitat #1There are at least five clutches in this bag. One of them is very red. Look at the photograph (Lower, right corner). We’ll probably have nymphs the next time I look
- Mini-habitat #2 The large clutch is gone, replaced my nymphs. Check out the photo!
- Mini-habitat #3 I see no clutches. There is just one bug in the mini-habitat standing on the stick today.
- Mini-habitat #4 Now, there are four distinct clutches on the cotton.
- Mini-habitat #5 One bug was on the cotton today. Maybe the female laying eggs? Time will tell.
- Mini-habitat #6 No change. No clutches. Just one bug left. If I don’t see any by Friday, I’m going to put the one remaining bug into the extras bag.
- Mini-habitat #7 I took a really good look at the cotton today. No clutches. I wonder why?
- Mini-habitat - Nymphs - I’m not sure there is anything alive in this bag. :(
- Mini-habitat - Extras - Now, we have lots of nymphs running around and still have some clutches. One pair was mating when I did my observation today.
