    I lost my Beauty today!

     My beloved orchid, Beauty, passed on today. And I don't know why. It seemed like she was taking forever to molt for the last time. But I was told that was normal. So I did not stress.....much.  I found her in the bottom of her cage earlier this afternoon. I attempted to give her honey and I...

    Ghost molting to adult...does this look right?!?!?

    Our pet ghost has molted into an adult!!!  Since we have not had a ghost do this yet, I want to make sure this looks okay. Are his wings supposed to be open?!?!?  Or does this mean something is wrong?!?!?  Not going to lie, I have been on the verge of tears and my anxiety is off the charts.  He...
