Thank you. They're still small.  Their abdomen and thorax look disproportionately long when compared to their head and raptorials.

I guess they have some growing to do!

Rhombo#1 L4 in better shots. I  LOVE  the markings on his (?) raptorials! [EDIT: I love the striped legs too!] The shield bumps are not very prominent yet.

I'd like to breed dubias sometime, if it's not crazy or super stinky.

Is it? My cup of dubias reeks.

Clean it more ften, do they dont need to walk in heir own poop. Crickets are more smelly.

Gratz on the molt

Oh yes. I did clean them up. He had an old stinky mushroom in there with the dubias. Now i feed them fruits and vegetables and keep them dryer and aired out. They don't stink anymore.

But, it important for nymphs to be the savage hunters that they are.  So, I have 1/4 pins for the Rhombos and Mios. I can hand feed them a chunk of dubia here and there.

If I get the ghosts before too long, I'll finish my hydei culture with them. Otherwise, it's useless to me right now.
