I've had this species so many times but I still find it so exciting watching them grow! Each individual is always special, no matter how many times you've owned the species.
My little Mori died completely unexpectedly. He seemed absolutely fine the night before, I'd fed him a cockroach and a bit of a little worm. Then I woke up and he was at the bottom of the container, dead. So weird, I've never been surprised by a death like that before, I can usually see it coming.
So now when it comes to Tenodera sinensis (I feel like saying "sinensiae" for the plural form lol) I've got 5. Cheech, Chong, Ferdinand, Paully, and Saunder.
(L5, definitely female. I love this shot, Cheech is such a model. I've got her container surrounded with green and yellow, it's definitely showing.)
Not sure of the sex quite yet, I want to say female, but that face is saying male! Males tend to have faces like a miomantis. This one's container is surrounded by green, yellow and blue.
(L5, definitely male, he's got some green leaves at the bottom of his container but as you can see, there are sticks along the top, and that's what he molts from, so it makes sense that he's brown. I don't mind, I like brown too! I've just never had a completely green adult, my last ones turned brown after the last molt, I'm assuming because they were surrounded by brown after those molts.)
L5, pretty sure he's male but not positive. This one has unique colors, green/brown, not fully green or fully brown. This one's absolutely nuts, jumping and running and fast as lightning, can't get him to stay still sometimes. I named this one after my best friend.
And well Mori died, and I haven't downloaded the photos of Saunder yet, but I will later on. There will always be photos!!
