Indeed ;)
When I moved them to their new cage, I also checked their sex, cuz I thought I had only 2 or 3 females and 10 males, but that wasn't.
I got 7 males, 6 females, 36 nymphs of all sizes and a bunch of eggs. (red spotted colony)

My white spotted colony exists of 2 males, 1 female, 2 subadults and 1 smaller nymph. Still no eggs from this species :(
