[13.02.15] 5th instar here we come! The male in the previous set of pics moulted to 5th instar in the afternoon and he is still keeping the orangy/red colouration. :) IMG_2625 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2618 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2624 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2641 by...

[08.02.15] Oh man, that's the first male down. :'( He started moulting to adult just before I went to eat dinner so I took this photo then. When I came back, his antennae and raptorials had gotten stuck so his thorax had 'snapped' in half and his body was very deformed. I hope this doesn't...

Don't get me wrong Dmina, they are pretty large for a Rhombodera sp. as the females reach 12cm (4.7 inches) ... it's just that they're not as large as they were advertised to be at first. :D haha (I do not own these pics so I linked them) Adult female: Adult male:

[25.01.15] Picked up a pair of these beauties that were said to be "giants" a few years ago. Even though people said that they didn't turn out to be as large as they were said to be, they're still a beautiful sp. IMO. IMG_2385 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2379 by Darkrai283, on Flickr...

[27.01.14] Good news. I managed to find someone selling a subadult female so she should be coming sometime next week from outside the UK. :) Video of the subadult male

[25.01.15] I picked up 2 nymphs (one subadult, one pre-subadult) at the S.E.A.S today... I was so annoyed when I got back and realised that I had bought two males! What happened was that I sexed a pair and left them to the side at the very start of the show, then had a look around on other...

[19.01.15] The first male 4th instar is here. :) The red colouration on the raptorials are much clearer now and they're large enough to be sexed too. IMG_2306 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2296 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2302 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2288 by Darkrai283, on Flickr
