[QUOTE="mcervig@yahoo.com, post: 269387, member: 7562"] I raise iris oratoria mantids and I have to say I am amazed at the way they can change color. I had a mantid turn from bright green to bronze 2 hours after she cannibalized another green mantid. :mad: I also tried putting one in with bright pink roses. It took 2 molts, and she turned brown with a pink stripe! I don't think they can totally turn pink. I also had some on my red rose bush. They were green with dark reddish necks and their proximal limbs were reddish as well. However, some are randomly turning color. I have not observed any pattern except that my clones are all white like their mother. Interesting subject! [/QUOTE]
