Well all pinned close to shed roof!
This one just didnt climbb right out! Sad

Sort of left wings in part of the cocoon and i wasnt here by time i got back was starting to dry!
Shall just have to hope the rest hatch and dont do the same!
Hoping for a pair to hatch 2gether as be great to get these bred and pass them about and get them seen more Smile

2 weeks!
Less you keep them real cool like in the fridge Confused

while waiting for the others to hatch!
Then that only gives them a week at most longer!
But i took a look at mine and they aint ready to come out yet so this one can wonder about my shed till its ready to go!
Does depened how much they do in the 2 weeks mind the more they do fly mate the shorter the lifes!

All males so far all 4!
1 looks like it could be dead dying in cocoon but was a possible when i got them!
The last one left to hatch is looking very very much like a female from what i can see!
Sods laws it wiill hatch when these die!
But wont moan as they are stunning and its cool walking in bug shed and having them flutter about your head Very Happy

Freaking the mantids and toads out a bit mind Confused
