The ootheca is very small, only about 1/4 inch
long. Newly hatched nymphs look almost transferant,
measuring up to 4- 5mm. long. Nymphs got tons of
long needles. Bouth males and females got a "Y"
like horn on their head.
Females: as adults, get ? long.
Males: as adults, get ? long.
Diet: Drosophila, houseflies, crickets, flour worms.
The feed must be very diversified. To the newly
hatched larvae must be promptly offered Drosophila
flies.
Statis: Lost culture, looking for some subadult-
adult pairs :)!
