Newly shed and very hungry stalking a cricket



And a Patell for a walk in the apartment

Is it a Sub-Adult?

 

[agent A]

they r subs and look exactly alike

 

[CoolMantid]

Those are differnt species? They look almost identical!

 

[gripen]

your lineola looks almost the same as my brown female. i like the brown phase better than the green phase in this species.

 

[jimpaunik]

All my 5 patelliferas has 2 strong dots on each arm, orange. but the one on the top picture has 4 small dots.

how can you tell it´s sub adult? and gender? /Jimmy

The wing nubs show its subadult and the segments on the back help to figure out if it is female or male... :shifty: I was really bored, so I decided to circle and add arrows... lol...

 

[jimpaunik]

wow thanks so this is?? male? how many segments does the female have?

 

[gripen]

its a girl :wub:

 

[jimpaunik]

its a girl :wub:

Yeah! But how many segments does males have? is it the same number on every specie?

i know.. lot´s of questions,but i could be fun to know the gender of them all

 

[gripen]

well on most species it is 5-6 for girl and 7-8 for boy.

 

[jimpaunik]

Thank you

I have read that males have 8 segments and females have 6 segments. But I have read that females can have 7 segments. Is that true? I have never seen a female with 7 segments. Is it rare?

it differs by species not individuals.

 

[happy1892]

What female of what species has 7 segments?

 

[gripen]

no only males can have 7 segments.

 

[happy1892]
