Actually, this question is probably much more generic than my subject line reads. I have a D. Fuscus female that appears to have some clearly yolked eggs. I collected this specimen about 2 months ago with no signs of any eggs at that time. She is currently kept with another fuscus that is presumed to be a juvenile and a D. Monticola. All of my research indicates a breeding season for this area in the May/June time frame. My question is, does yolking only occur post fertilization? I would assume so but the more i thought about it the more i realized i had no clue. I'm basically trying to determine if there is any probability that these eggs could actually be fertile, the female having mated prior to collection. I have a few pictures i will post.
