[QUOTE="Graceface, post: 326888, member: 11024"] Yes, pics please! I'd love to see her new color. Iris was brown until L6 and she turned green, I was equally shocked. In Keeping the Praying Mantis, Orin says of color and ghosts on pg 45: "Green coloration in Phyllocrania Paradoxa is a sex linked genetic trait and environmental, since green male nymphs revert at the ultimate molt while females can stay green under specific conditions. The exact stimulus is often unknown because the change can be in response to more than one variable. Humidity and perch coloration are the most important, but then there are often multiple perches and major shifts in humidity under captive conditions." I haven't noticed a green colored female change to a different color, but I have seen a brown female turn green. My perches don't vary, so I'd guess it's humidity as the main factor. Cool stuff, either way! 😊 ❤️ [/QUOTE]
