Carolina connection

[LauraMG]

Anyone know what the visual differences are between the male Carolinas and the male Chinese...? I have trouble telling them apart...

Do you have pictures of each? I bet it would be pretty easy to tell them apart side by side. My other Carolina male isn't even green, he's a dark purpley-brownish color with some bright green stripes on his legs.

I don't KNOW if I have one of each - I asked them for ID, but they refused (smiles).

With the brown ones, it's easy to see that green ridge along the wings, but with the green ones, I'm having trouble. I'm sure once I kow what to look for, I'll have it locked down...

Wanna post pics of the ones in question? The Chinese is probably going to be bigger than the Carolina

Pairing number 2 for this female, and number 1 for this male. He was noticeably less experienced than Bob (the green male) but he figured it out after I poked at him a little. He kept trying to rest and would stop trying to connect, so I'd create a slight breeze or poke him with the feeder tongs a little. He almost got himself eaten before they even got started because he tried to eat the roach she was grubbing on! She comped at his claw a couple of times and he bit her thorax a couple of times, but they worked out their differences quickly! :lol: Enjoy!

This was the view before he made the connection

Getting there!

And he made it!
