Please help with hierodula majuscula health

[JR DUGGER]

My L5 hierodula majuscula female has had really dark brown upper back legs for some time now and I'm wondering if it's a sign of bad health. Her and her sibling both have it and it's been there since L3 or L4 stage. Could it be necrosis? I'm really starting to worry about them but they both eat and act just fine. Please help.

Looks like natural coloring to me. Nothing to worry about. Looks like a happy, plump, little nymph.

Thanks krissim I appreciate the input. I just haven't seen any other Australian rainforest mantids with that color is what kind of makes me nervous. But thank you that makes me feel a bit better ☺
