[QUOTE="happy1892, post: 348980, member: 5913"] That is very interesting about the natural light possibly helping to turn them pink or purple. Yes, I think temperature may have something to do with the purple/pink coloring because I was keeping many Spiny flower mantis nymphs cool, down in the 70s F. But then when I warmed the Spiny flower mantis nymphs up in the 80s F some colored up to a fair amount of pink. I may try keeping some Spiny flower nymphs outdoors someday to see if the natural light helps them color up. Of course I won't leave them in the sun unless the container is a well ventilated net cage. The sun would roast them! [/QUOTE]
