Love the spiny threat display! Did you have to poke her with a stick...? How do you get them to threat display?

Also love the salmon-pink color of the orchid male.

I've been told, though, that Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii's are hard to take care of. What are your opinions?

(Thinking about getting C. Pictipennis. Do you guys have any thoughts on those, too? )

They aren't hard at all!!!! At least in my opinion. Just mist them daily as nymphs and feed fruitflies until you think they're ready for BBS (probably when they're around L6)
