I never thought it would happen, but just out of the blue.... .she appeared.


This was the best shot I could get. Even with my macro, I wasn't getting very clear pics. I will try to
get some better ones.

Can you tell how old the eggs are?

And how many more days for the larvae stage?

Great thank you for the picture.

While I was trying to get better pics, another berried female showed up... unfortunately she is only carrying a single egg. I wasn't able to get pics yet.

You really can't tell how old the developing larvae are by just looking at the eggs...until they are just about ready to hatch. At that point the eggs will be more transparent and you will see eyes.
