Adult Idolo Changing Colors

[Mvalenz]

My adult Idolo molted a few days ago and he is starting to get some color. Check him out.

Hello

Here he is almost to the ceiling.

I should get him down before he falls.

Begging for a silkworm

Nice! They don't really eat silkworms though, they like flying pray, the more noise it makes the better!

hmmm. I didnt think ANY mantid could refuse a fat wriggling silkworm. A big fat silk moth then, crawling upside downright towards him. DINNER TIME!!!!

Yarp, well actually mine will ignore most moths if they aren't flapping wings. They don't really show interest unless the prey appears to be flying. But when mine where younger I could trick them into others bugs.

Oops apparently didn't read your whole your post there deathzez. just saw no silk worms thingy. I don't mean to be an echo.

Sorry

You guys are awesome. But how long before these guys eat after molting?

Sometimes in just 8-10 hours, most will eat in a day or two. Keep in mind adult males don't eat as much as females normally.
