Question #1- what is the hatching duration for eggs laid in a 24 hour period.

​

Sub question- what is the hatching rate?

​

A test was run in what I found to be optimum temperatures where I allowing the crickets to lay eggs for 24 hours in the egg laying medium and then observed the time required to hatch.   9 days transpired before the first cricket hatched and then they continued to hatch for 15 more days.  In other words incubation time is anywhere between 9 to 25+ days from being laid.  All factors were identical and consistent.  I do not know how many others took longer to hatch, I stopped the experiment when the numbers hatching were not worth the time.  Most hatch between incubation days 9 thru 16 and then stragglers. A Graph of the numbers that hatch is like a bell curve that tends to ring on for a while.
