I'm glad I waited. I did help open up the hole for the little bumble bee this morning because I noticed him doing what looked like trying to get out last night, but he didnt fit through the hole me made. When he tried to go back into the egg, his fat head didn't fit through the hole that he made either. I carefully widened it about a half an inch so he can be in or out of the egg by choice now. I woke up this morning and discovered that BOTH of the eggs I saw pip that I thought were normals were actually pastels and they came out! Also, a 4th worm cut himself a little vent and looking inside at the head pattern, it is pretty clearly a spider.
Count: 4 open, 2 pastels out, 1 bee in, 1 spider in. I am giving the remaining 2 eggs until tomorrow night to pip (3 days behind the first pip) before giving them a small hole to see what's up.
The bee before I helped open his hole a little bit:
Everyone this morning... egg 4 is where the spider is sitting with his nose next to that vent:
There will be many more pics here and on my Facebook page linked in my signature as they come out.
HUGE thanks to all of the pros and amateurs here who have weighed in with their expertise and experiences (both good and bad) to help me gain the knowledge needed for this. WOOOOOOO
