Hi my name is Leo and I'm from Greece .I cought approx.40 Loboptera decipiens and three Ectobius sp at the same place .The location that they were found is dry ,with some leaf litter .
Now I keep the L.decipiens in a new cage , a 30 cm lond and 15 cm wide fauna box asnd a centimeter or two of a mixture of sand ,humus and soil .It's dry but I have a humidity box and many fruits .Anyway , I have found 6 oothecae deposited but no young .How long does it take to hatch?Are the conditions good? I have found L.decipiens from humid and quite cool forests to dry scrubland . |

Many years ago I kept L. decipiens, which I collected on sand dunes near the sea near Rome, Italy. They were very easy to keep and breed, and it sounds to me that the conditions you have are fine. The oothecae may take some time to hatch - but I really can't remember how long. Note that there are records of this species establishing itself in houses, so don't let it escape!
