[QUOTE="CollinR, post: 309068, member: 10047"] Thanks! Me too. I have to say though the wings on Vance, my Adult Rhombodera may be my favorite for now. But yeah I'd love to breed them. She's about a month behind him though molt wise so He'll be a little older by the time she's ready. They're both healthy and active though! Aggressively catch roaches and moths when they're offered and don't pass up a drink from the mister. I'll get some pictures of Piper's wing buds. I noticed that right before Cleff's final molt, his wing buds enlarged more and were raised while he was hanging upside down. Before he slid out of his old skin. These two have lived most of their lives on fake tomato plants sitting in different rooms. I only had them in a terrarium when they were L1-L3. They've never left the plants so I think it means I've been doing okay raising them! Most of my L4+ Mantids live outside of a terrarium and this has gone very successfully now and in the past with other generations I've had. The only ones I keep in a tweaked environment are the Idolos in a big heated Exo Terra. [/QUOTE]
