[QUOTE="jplelito, post: 30434, member: 526"] Yen and the gang: This is what you get if you keep orchids hot and give them a lot of humidity - 75-90% day and night! There is still some variation, but no individual has come out all white yet.. all have varying degrees of pink on the legs and head/thorax/raptorial forelimbs. These have been adult for at least a week, with only a slight dimming of the pink color.

I'll get more pics soon - another two females molted yesterday morning. [/QUOTE]
