[QUOTE="cat_h, post: 306840, member: 10210"] Hi all, I have taken a couple pics of my larger female D.desiccata, and the male too. I'm hoping someone will be able to hazard a guess at how many more moults I should be expecting from each to get to adulthood... Female 1: [URL="https://flic.kr/p/XcMhnK"][IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4433/36232938821_676118ff3f_b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Male: [URL="https://flic.kr/p/Xa1qis"][IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4374/36201552452_b9d403b2bc_b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] My second female is 1 moult behind the female pictured. Looking at them in light of peoples comments about wingbuds... am I right in thinking the male's are much more prominent? Just to make sure i'm looking at the right thing. I love how the pronotum shape is sexually dimorphic. I have more pics from todays photo escapade so I'm going to start a thread in the Mantid Photos section for me to add them to as they grow. So... guesses on Instar? Thanks for looking! Cat :) [/QUOTE]
