Cheech is now an adult! I'll show some photos. Unfortunately the first photo I took of her was when she was at L4! :/ She hatched from an ootheca I found by my house.

Adult:
She's a tiny bit longer than 3"!
She's always been very photogenic.
Despite my efforts she still ended up turning more of a brownish color. She still has a greenish tint as you can see but she's more brown than green now. I guess it doesn't depend so much on the surrounding colors? I read somewhere that a person's Phyllocrania paradoxa had turned green when given more humidity than others. Maybe that's how it is with some species. My Popa spurca for instance turned the color of the thing they molted against. Maybe because they're more of a mimicking species?
Well here's Cheech, a perfect specimen! I'll do the others later on. So I've got 1 female and 3 males. Only one male has to reach adulthood now.
