Allpetroaches Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Posted by La Torre Ivan on 4/18/2007, 12:44 pm 151.97.132.113 II have a little breeding of Polyphaga aegyptiaca, a species quite common in Sicily. I have collected oothecae in the field, larvae and adults which survive in plastic and glass cages eating dog food without problems. I try to put together males and females. I have obtained oothecae but they don’t give descents. Also the oothecae collected in the field didn’t give larvae. Someone can help me? What have I to do? latorreivan@libero.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the substrate dry out and do not keep it overly wet. Also, remember Polyphagid eggs take 3-6 months to hatch. elytraandantenna@lycos.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
