Californica VS Limbata and SPECIAL MANUAL SETTING USE

[agent A]

first pics were with aperature setting on camera

differences between stagmomantis californica and limbata

first off we know californica are dark at L1 and limbata are green

at L2 there are also differences

note how limbata has little contrast on the abdomen and thorax with little reticulation on the legs and claws

quite the contrary with L2 californica

so which of the 2 is this?:

the next 5 photos were taken with manual setting

here is an L3 californica (femme i think)

note the dark spot inside the claw

LIMBATA LACK THIS!!!

also, L2 oxyopsis gracilis, able to eat hf :wub:

ENJOY
