200 more!

A second ooth (T. sinensis ) hatched this morning. Hundreds of healthy newborns! The first batch has been dispatched except for about 20.

T.sinensis Twitch molted flawlessly to an adult (male) last night. Here he is outside, sun drying his new wings (he's very proud). The foreground dust is pine pollen.

Gorgeous! I always love the Chinese mantids.

His wings never "settled" properly against his body. The molt was fine though. He looks like a permanent F-22 fighter jet !!
