Hix Sunbathing

[Digger]

Hix was getting restless in her condominium, so I put her out on a porch houseplant.  As you see, she very happy to bask in the hot afternoon sun.

Nice shot of your mantis

Thanks guys.  She's just molted to an adult and, luckily, kept that pretty emerald green.

Congrats Digger, glad to hear Hix molted successfully and kept that pretty coloring too.

Show us please how beautiful she is now!

Alas, Sticky, I put her on a large petunia plant 2 days ago and now cannot find her.  Her green camouflage is exact to the plant, but I've rifled through the plant every which way.  No Hix.  May have lost her.  But sister Liu has remained on a neighboring Butterfly Bush for 3 weeks now.  Kind of amusing when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a piece of Tiger Swallowtail wing dislodge from the plant and flutter to the ground.  I knew Liu was up to no-good and mush have captured an earlier enormous meal.

She will show herself. Have faith!
