They hatched! They hatched! My polydamus babies hatched! I have two bunches of eggs, and the first cluster has all emerged - I counted eleven. This picture is so good you can count them too. Apparently, I'm improving my ability to hold the camera still. : ) I kept wondering how long they would take to hatch so here are my unofficial results. I found them July 30 and I'm pretty sure they were laid on that date as I had been out the previous day and had seen nothing. They hatched this morning on August 5, so it looks like they take just about a week to hatch.
