My Stagmo thinks it's a tiger

Rawr! :tt2: Vitioso started molting to L5 this morning when i was on my way out to work. i was super excited to see (her/him?) when i got home. and she has developed these really cool stripes and markings.

i just thought it was rather neat and wanted to share. i have never had a stagmo at this instar before. im now looking forward for the two brown stagmo to reach this instar so i can see what they are going to look like.

i have several instar of this sp. i had four ooths. i have L1, L2 L3 and the 1 L5 that i kept from the first ooth, the rest were from the second. i sold the 3rd to mantiskid and he has had his hands full as of late. im anticipating that the fourth will be along very shortly

oh ya, im excited about this.... but out of the hundreds of little green nymphs i have had two turn brown, as soon as they get bigger ill be taking pictures
