[QUOTE="minomantis, post: 326879, member: 6680"] My female ghost mantis named ButterRum molted about a week ago. She is a beautiful golden brown and just a gorgeous mantis. Since her molting, I put her on my palm tree plant that also has aloe and another plant (basically she's surrounded by green). The plant is next to the radiator which pumps out a good amount of heat and I mist the plant about three times a day. Long story short, she completely turned green in a matter of two days. I don't know how green she will will get, but she is no longer brown. It almost looked like she was turning green a couple days ago, but I didn't think much of it until I looked at her today. I'm blown away. I know mantids can change color after molts, but I thought it had to be directly after(within a couple days). Maybe she noticed that she was just surrounded by green and needed to blend in, maybe with her genes the adults turned green right before the final molt, maybe the conditions were just right. I am going to replicate the same exact thing with my other ghost Mocha and see if the same will happen and she is a deep brown ghost. I believe her and ButterRum came from the same ooth. Just very cool! I hope she gets all the way to a bright green and Grace if you're reading this, she's the same color as Iris, maybe a little greener. Really cool! [/QUOTE]
