Caught these guys above 5000 ft in Sedona AZ, they are pretty common above 5000 ft in the southwest.  I don't have high hopes for this one since all she has been doing is biting the cotton on my test tube.  She was also found with a really small gaster, maybe something has destroy her starter broods/her original claustral chamber was destroyed.  She has been drinking honey water so maybe that is a good sign.

After 2 weeks of biting the cotton, she eventually layed eggs and have larvae.  What was probably really important in this was that i constantly fed her honey/egg yolk mixture.

 

Now she currently have 1 fat larvae and 2 smaller ones.
