Today, another one of my heteropteryx dilatata hatchings molted.
Everything went smoothly once again and I collected the leftovers of the skin.
Sometimes, the insects decide to eat some of their old skin, so it is advised to leave the skin in the enclosure for some time.
My three hatchlings are still small enough to live in my pop up enclosure.
I am a little confused about the hatch rate of my eggs.
Maybe they got too dry at some point or they just hatch in very irregular intervals.
