Fifth Instar
Well I finally found some here within bicycling distance (7 mile ride and a twenty minute hike).
I found four nymphs and a friend of mine found a male wandering around which made me decide to dig. I only had tongs on me so I wasn't able to dig/sift more the four inches down. I also found a ton of hatched ooths which were very oddly shaped. I thought the first one I found must've been a first ooth for the female but every one I found was like the first one. I can't see more then three or four nymphs being able to hatch from a ooth.
I'll have access to a computer shortly and I can post pictures of the male and maybe the nymphs to get them ID'd.
