younger female dubia with egg case

[Honda99300ex]

So I was feeding today, and I threw in a larger female nymph and when it got bit into, and egg case came.out. I was kinda shocked, because it wast an.adult. I'm just guessing once they're close.to adulthood they start reproducing. I picked the egg case up and sit it in a small container, and watched the 30+ tiny white roaches slowly come out...kinda neat

This happened to one of mine last week. Only it didn't hatch.
I thought it was gross :bleick:
Glad you got to save the 30 babies though!

Congrats on seeing that...I've seen them lay/pop those things out, but never thought to watch the babies hatch out..

Woo hoo baby roaches...
