Just selling the remainder of my culture, ive got around 7 Eurycantha calcarata, around 3 adult females, a bunch of medium established female nymphs nymphs
, and a female hatchling :P
This is a parthenogenetic culture

Eurycantha calcarata require male and female to breed. parthenogentic insects are normally all female laying infertile eggs that hatch into female. this species is NOT parthenogentic

That is what i thought, but my entire past 2 generations have been female

It would be a bit more of a coincidence that out of 30 odd individuals every single one of them was female.
Most species are parthenogenetic to some degree however in some sexual species its pathetically low.
Forgot to say however has these should be looking for males aswell
