The next wave

Eggs continue to hatch. Each species adding more and more work. It's becoming rather time consuming, all those hungry mouths to feed. The breeding season isn't even at its peak yet. Yesterday, I received eggs of five more species, all from the good people of The Ovogram Site. I will tell you more about this community later, but if you're serious about breeding insects (and other invertebrates) you should already be a member. Google it and join, it's not a hoax.
