Two females oviposited  about 350 ova but there was a very low hatch rate.  No eggs from #1 female hatched even though she laid  quite a few but not as many as  #2 female.
The nokomis hatched after ten or eleven days

Larvae
A few of these fed for twenty two days but never formed a pupa. They were placed in hibernation.
