Hi everyone,

I got a bunch of Creobroter Gems in from Rebecca. most were L1s. some were L2s. the L1s are molting the past day or two and are eating like pigs.

they are so tiny. I would not recamend them to a beginer at this stage due to the size. I will show in a photo just how big they truly are in a moment. even at L2 they are quite small. this is not to say that I can't handle this. I'm just warning other rookies of what they may be getting into if they would like to get some in the future.

they are stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

every single one that I recived from Rebecca is doing great and have had no deaths, regardless that it was sent in the winter and so young. I'm talking 27 nymphs with no problems after 4 days, including all the moltings that are going on.

I wanted to post some photos with a new plant I just got, but ran out of time so I'll take some more later and post them in an update.

right out of the box...

that's a fruitfly wing on the cup...see, told you they are small.

thank you for the kind words everyone.

Nice pics! I've never had Creos but they seem pretty cool.
my only Creo pictipennis is really smart. when I take her out to photograph her she always turns her head to watch TV. :lol:

she will also has been known to catch a fly or cricket that I toss in her tub before it even lands on the bottom. she is always hungry and will over eat if I let her. she really grew on me. I didn't think I would like her other then she is gorgous.

So cute! I wanna see more pics!
don't worry. I'm going to be snowed in shortly, so I got nothing to do but take more photos. :p

I'll post more by tonight. ;)
