My new violins, and my molting mantis

[Skylineblinkfan]

Yesterday my violins arrived!

Here is the female.

Here is my 3 legged male. Sorry not the best pic.

Both have eaten quite a lot, and seem to be happy and healthy other then a missing leg and a broken leg on the male.

My female Stagmomantis sp(or at least looks to be) had decided to try and molt on my computed screen. 30 or so min.

After i went to check on her and she had fallen on the crinkled napkins i layed underneath of her, i quickly grabed

a leaf from her enclosure and attached her back legs to it. Shortly after she is now fully molted and looks great,

here are some pics of the action.

This is her on my monitor, getting ready to molt.

This is after i put her back in her home.

Here she is after a successful molt. Now with a nice set of wings.
