changes in eye colour

[Cookie]

Ive been fascinated at how a mantids eyes change colour with night and day, but have noticed that my chinese mantis still has pale eyes at night recently. I think she's going to molt soon, is this why there has been a change?

I would not think this has to do with molting? But then again i'm really not sure? I will have to a take mental note next time, i have a mantis that is ready to molt.

Strangely enough, my mantids have been the same way lately! I don't know what it is, but no worries! It happens sometimes.
