October 19 / 2009 the babies started hatching . I had relocated some of the egg sacs to a building in town where there will be lights on at night to attract insects for food . I kept the first egg sac she produced along with the last two that I never thought would hatch .
The first picture I got was with the last of a batch hatching and one had its foot caught and needed help getting out .
They were tiny , they hatched at about 20 at a time - nothing for three days , then another 20 , nothing for three days - another 20 so about 60 total from one egg sac .
I caught one batch hatching and they were 'oozing' out of their sacs - then they would start spreading out .
It's been a while , some of them have probably laid eggs of their own now and I sometimes wonder how many of the babies survived ?
