Females do not, actually, have the orange tips on their wings, but the patterns on the underside are gorgeous.

Amazing scene! That must have been great to watch. Less so to hear!

Question on eggs and hatching (pics.letsfail.com)

Hi! Sorry, very new at the whole "bugs" thing, and I'm still learning. I spotted this the other day (not sure of the stink bug species, possibly Nezara viridula), promptly spent hours watching macro timelapses of stink bugs hatching, going from gooey babies to hard shelled nymphs...

Now to the question which has been bugging me: is there such a thing as "too late to hatch"? Can they "harden" inside the egg and just die there (maybe in the blackened eggs)?

Thanks!

Edit:

I found another nest of the same species and took it home. So: have a top view of the hatched eggs and some first instar nymphs while I'm at it!

My opml of news and magazine feeds (github.com)
 

The opml

I aimed at granularity, by gathering all the feeds I could find for each website. If you import the opml as it is, you will drown in duplicate articles, so I recommend cherry-picking the feeds you want.

What I learned while preparing this:

  • Feedbro is your friend and can autodetect all feeds on a page, if they are listed
  • Some CMS automatically generate feeds for the categories, so it's worth trying to tack "/rss" or "/feed" somewhere in the URL, you never know
  • I love FreshRSS

Opml - Feeds of 90+ hiveworks comics (raw.githubusercontent.com)

It contains most of the comics listed here: https://hiveworkscomics.com/active

I decided to write a script to scrape the links because it was going to be "easy", well I should have known better. 10 comics or so are missing from the OPML due to "can't find the rss link" or "that's... not xml" circumstances. Sorry about that.
