Here are some pics of a recent molted adult female pink/peach s. limbata. She is a real looker My wife named her "Jasmine" on account of the mantid reminds her of a jasmine blossom.

wow- yeah, sometimes you forget just how pretty these guys can be, when you are so consumed with the exotic ones.

I don't own any limbatas myself, but they appear frequently at where I work.

The other day I spotted a bright green one in the bushes and picked it up and just stared at it for a while.

Time to fatten that baby up! (looks like it's happening already)
