My adult female molted a couple weeks ago. She does have ruined eyes, but that hasn't stopped her from being very pretty. (look at the details of that bark too xD)

She is a very beautiful color of green. Was she always a shade of green or did it appear during her last few molts, or at the very end? I haven't had any Ghosts myself yet that were a lovely green or black. I've had some browns, tans, very light green for a few molts, and a gold.

What happened to her eyes if you don't mind me asking? I hope she is still able to see well enough to capture prey at least.

She is nice coloring, they get their color around 4th instar or so, they look alike until then, mostly dark brown, but then they start to change. I have had green

for the last 3 or 4 years, before that we never saw green.

she had been green since pre subadult, oddly enough she went from brown, to red, to green however, her eyes were ruined in the last molt for an unknown reason, but she catches moths all the same my male will be adult shortly as well, and he is a beautiful golden color.

Much like hibiscusmile suggested then, she does know her ghosts. The red sounds interesting any photos of her from then?

Glad to hear she is able to catch her own prey.

I'll have to look on my PC later today for the red morph

Very nice, thanks for posting that. Indeed I would have to agree that she was red, especially around her abdomen.

Cannot wait to breed them
