Can you get a good picture of the wing buds of the sub male? I'm worried that mine might be sub adult now.

Mike: If the wing buds of a male are really developed, his next molt should make him adult. If a female, there are two molts. That is what I recollect. If there is someome more acquiainted with this, like Tammy W., or Paul (Ismart), I could be corrected.

He's only talking bout orchids. The males have 2 less molts.

Alex, so did your "necklaces" on your Orchids finally change to the right color (green on the female and brown on the male)?

Nice portrait of the Ghost. Will you be mating her soon?

I have four adult female Ghosts that are different shades of green. One you gave me is gorgeous. She has been living with two males for at least two weeks.

is this one subadult? Or presub? Don't make fun of his weight, he's on a strict diet now.

 

[agent A]

I would say sub based on his size

 

[Mime454]

That's upsetting. My orchid is still presub.

With my last batch of Orchids, the male looked like that just before he molted to adult and was quite small as an adult. Smaller than any I had in the past. I would say less than 1-1/4" long. I am sure they can still do their task at that size.

Bigger isnt always better...

Mike, your male is pre-sub.

 

[Mime454]

Mike, your male is pre-sub.

That's what I was thinking too.

 

[Mime454]

iSmart was right. He molted to subadult today, and I'm hoping that orchid lady does very soon. She's refusing food, slowing, and is very pink.

Oh, and A, I'm fast catching up to your Karma count.
