Hisserdude 838 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Forgot to start a thread here about these beauties, oh well, better late than never! Here are some pictures of the L1 nymphs when I first got them: L1s and an L2: And now they are all L2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lovebugfarm 65 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I'm glad these guys are doing well for you and there are more in the hobby in general my pair is breeding just as well as my white spots so I think these should be more available in a year or two.

Hisserdude 838 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks, two have molted to L3 now, need to get some pictures! These are becoming pretty popular, I'm sure they'll be very common in the hobby soon, already prices are dropping quite a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hisserdude 838 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Well all six nymphs are still doing well, one of them is a subadult now, and the other 5 should molt soon too! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hisserdude 838 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 After a very lengthy premolt period, I finally have some adults! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hisserdude 838 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 WOOHOO! I got eggs!  21 so far, but with four females, I'm sure MANY more are to follow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hisserdude 838 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Well, my P.horrida eggs have been hatching like crazy, I've got so many nymphs now, which are feeding eagerly on small Pycnoscelus nigra nymphs, (of which I have a seemingly endless supply). Here are some pictures of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Salmonsaladsandwich 16 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Nice! They sure are leggy. Around how many have hatched? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they are quite spindly, they remind me of some spiders! Around 50+ have hatched, and they just keep coming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No matter how much my population of adult Platymeris grows I always have an abysmally slow trickle of nymphs hatching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've also been keeping the eggs pretty warm, which seems to really speed up their development. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psydeus565 19 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Please, please make these available for purchase if you have extras! They're so seldom offered! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I ever do sell any, I'll let you know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope so too, luckily I think a lot of people have been successful in breeding them last year, so this year you should see more available! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
