Great pics! I love them, guess tomorrow is picture day around here! I cant wait to see them up close at that stage! I am having a hard time with L-1 L-2's as they are so skittish. (not idolos but in general) I have a fresh hatch of sibylla presiosa and they are the worst! spent better part of the afternoon trying to get something good with no luck! they are pretty skittish!

You can see into their head!!!

Then only an hour later they look like this...

Fantastic! At L1 they REALLY look devilish!

My lens can't pick it up, but there's a radical difference between early L1 and late L1. They plump up and fill out so much!

I already miss my L1's, but soon L7 and L8 will make me forget all about that, the purple and green on the L2-3 is also stunning ( ;
