antwan Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I came home to see one of my oto's almost bursting today and her ovipositer hanging out a fair amount, about an hour later I saw them in this pose under a leaf, got the camera out and up close for a photo, but too close! and scared them away, flicking 3 eggs with them . Alas, they were back at it in no time, and this time I was able to get a photo. There are a few of what I think are eggs on a few leaves that I will scoop out and try raise artificially (cories hard at work in the same area though) and see what happens. Anyway, here they are: Exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwan Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I could only find two eggs, both of which fungussed by the morning. I'm not too fussed, hopefully will get/save more next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
