I couldn't say for sure, but probably within 4-7 days.

I think so! Think i'm gonna go again in a few days to see the nymphs... Any ideas of how long will they last?

Thanks oxyjack. That's my reward for spending like an hour looking under a bunch of those leaves (with really sharp thorns, i have to say)

Wow! It's a kind of assassin bug (Reduviidae). I've never seen one laying eggs before.
