Awesome!! i love that last shot of Brownie, starin at the cam!LOL! I know that's right! However.... I was able to get a few quick shots with the cellphone, not great... But a visual nonetheless.
Here's one of my two Devils, this ones named "Twitch"... Since birth its always moved/walked/swayed more twitchy than is sibling (Crowley... And yes, I stole the name from the t.v series "Supernatural"...) ^_^
Heres two of my babygirl, Brownie!
Her previous molt put her at sub (judgement by budwings size...) Brownie was already a little aged when I had received her.
I get more of the others, hopefully lol.

06.04.15: One of my two idols (Crowley.) molted this morning, achieved L3.

lol well let me know if you wish to breed them all xD

I've still got a L4/5 female double shield I need that mate for.
Though ive given some thought towards the breeding, I'm going to focus primarily on griffin mantids and keep them going within the hobby ( or try atleast...) since they're a big species, but will still dapple here and there with others such as the double shield and other larger ones.
Ive come to terms that smaller species just aren't for me... For one reason or another i just can't keep them alive.

Brownie's pretty close herself, her buds are starting to swell a tad bit so her final leap is near!

Figured it was due for some updated photos:
Here's my final double shield female, surprisingly despite her previous condition with bum arms... She's managed to get passed two molts and now is a beautiful little girl.
Here's my second female griffin, Ivy.
Updated shot on Spiney.
I'll more updated photos of the rest of the crew tomorrow before work.

06.09.15: Brownie is currently undergoing her final leap!
Despite choosing the worst possible place to molt (on the glass wall and lid edge...) she has some how managed to complete the shed AND flip around... I really don't know how she pulled it off but I'm extremely pleased with my newest babygirl! XD
I will get updated photos of her as well.

06.09.15: One of my two chaetas had also molted throughout the night.
Aaaaaaaand, here's Brownie's after-molt photos! (cellphone...)
Though, I must say 5 inches is a bit over exaggerating... They're more like 4 inches if your measuring from tip of wing to tip of head. However, I'm not positive on how everyone measures their specimens... But if including her antennae, she would be 5inches. Either way she's a perfect little lady!
