[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 303696, member: 1492"] Some of you might remember a [URL="https://mantidforum.net/index.php?/topic/37958-mini-adult-stagmomantis-carolina-with-partial-wings/"]topic [/URL]a posted a year back of one of my boy [I]Stagmomantis carolina[/I] that skipped a shedding, resulting in a mini sized adult. Well, it just happened again only this time with a female [I]Stagmomantis carolina[/I]. I was expecting Trumpet, one of my precious little ladies, to shed to sub-adult only for her to shed to adulthood. Just to make sure I wasn't going crazy, I decided to wait for her sister from the same ootheca to also have her next shedding and sure enough her sister shed to a sub-adult. Thus I am left staring at a mini adult that is about the size of a normal sub-adult for the species. :wub: I know it is practically criminal to post a topic about an adorable mini mantis and not include any photos, but I do plan to take some in a couple of days. I wanted to wait for her sister to have a chance to fully harden so I can take some photos of them together to best show off the unusual size discrepancy. [/QUOTE]
