just born - freshly hatched Oecanthus fultoni (handraised) - Oecanthus fultoni
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
April 1, 2021
(See article on Handraising Oecanthus) for rearing information.
This Oecanthus fultoni has just hatched from an egg laid in fall in the stem of Chromolaena odorata. The potted plant (along with others used by my Oecanthinae) was kept indoors in a large rearing cage through winter. In mid-May at this writing, my Oecanthus fultoni nymphs born around this time are third-instar nymphs. They have generally taken eight weeks from hatching to adult.

thanks!
These are the babies from stems of plants kept safely indoors all winter. I got lots of fultoni, but only a few varicornis from the indoor plants.
I'm still looking for folks out in the field, and all the Oecanthinae I find and care for this season are dedicated to you, Nancy, with extreme gratitude.
