6.2.3. Incubation & hatching

The berried females carry their eggs for 2 weeks, during which period the embryos develop. The eggs undergo change of colour from orange to grey / brown. Just before releasing the larvae, the eggs become grey black. After the incubation period, the larvae hatch out. The hatched out larvae need feed for their growth.
