Here at Ectothermic Endeavors we have a new project we are working on! And that is trying to crack the mystery behind consistent hatching of the red eyed devil katydid (Neobarrettia spinosa). These amazing katydids are predatory and feed grasshoppers, crickets, likely phasmids to an extent, and whatever other smaller insect has the misfortune of crossing paths with them. Native to the southwest and northern Mexico. Here we have one of our females and some eggs she laid. Big shout out to .redeyeddevil for posting and figuring out as much as he has! We really hope to see at least some successful hatching and with any luck be able to offer CBB nymphs of this species in the future.
