    Color change!

    Nice read. His losses were staggering with the color cups. And didn't yield any color changing results. Someone on this forum was trying something similar but their name escapes me.

    Orchid Mantis Molting

    Thank you all for your kind words I live near LA so I see the blurred gender lines all the time. I quickly learned not to judge a book by its cover but it just human nature! Chivalry, I was born and raised in tn. I miss my home state.

    Orchid Mantis Molting

    I was shutting the lights off and noticed. Grabed my gear and very very carefully opened the container to snap a few pictures. He was molting over a stick so he might have mis molted had I not repositioned him. Two birds....one stone. Thanks beats

    Slowing the growth of a male Orchid Mantis

    Classic Phil All I was saying is that personal expierence from members works better than what someone heard. If I missed a biological theory that you want to cite I will read it. I must have missed it in the thread.

    Orchid Mantis

    Some people say sex them ASAP. Others say the male lives months once they molt to adult. I'm shooting for somewhere in between. Mine are L4 and I just now started slowing the males. I had them sexed at L2 though.
