Polyphaga saussurei

[romango]

Hallo,

I bought (from Pavel Borovsky) one partenogenetic female of P.saussurei , and, two months after, she produced a beautiful eggcase (see pics) . What shall I do now? Shall I put it into some kind of incubator? How long for the eggs to hatch?

Usually oothecae are kept in the cage with the adults for polyphagids. It's not that the adults care for the eggs in any way but removing them to a new cage (unless it's kept up just like the adult cage) often results in eventual death of the eggcase.
