I hope they aren't all males! I've got 5 and all have the same number of segments. I'm pretty sure they are like Heterochaeta which is difficult to ***. Can't go by a segment count.
the second pic appears female

L5, like is says in the thread title. Yeah, I lucked out. I have 5; one is green and red, another is orange/brown, and the other 3 are pretty similar but with varying degrees of redish rusty brown. I can't get over the insane patterns on their backs.

Henry: You have brought out the best in this rarely seen species from down under. Good luck mating them and getting some oothecae and then to hatch, and them to to molt and live to another stage.

You can't get over their patterns and I can't get over the pix and vids you continue to share with us Henry! Whenever you post we all know we are in for a serious treat! Thanks for posting brother, as usual your work ceases to amaze me.
As always, very nice pic! All the best in breeding this species. It was quite a challenge for me, as in my case the mated female took a long time to deposit ooth and hatching rate wasn't great either, better luck to your batch.
