Rhombo' and 'Chaeta logs

[bobericc]

Lol your rhombo looks fat and happy

 

[bobericc]

My chaetas are starting to molt to subadult still about twenty

Should have plenty of nymphs for grabs in the near future

Where are all the new chaeta keepers from milanos stock anyone grab any from barteks buddy?

 

[Paradoxica]

I got some, they're only L4's though.

 

[DinehCaveman]

I have some as well, at this point 1 is L5 and the others are due to molt in two to three days.

Got an added bonus today . When I originally received my R validas I lost a nymph when I was unpacking them. That was months ago. I have been finding frass and flylegs on the windowsill lately. I looked behind the blinds, and at the top of the window wedged behind the blinds was a very large male Rhombo. He was just as big as all the others. Yay!!!

 

[bobericc]

Lol

I bet he was a bit brighter than the rest

Was he?

 

[bobericc]

Rhombos are now at subadult for the most part so I moved the remainder into net cages over a warm mist humidifier like I was planning.

Chaetas are molting to sub adult, I thought they already were, looks like this batch will be just as large, some larger than the sp tanzania i kept previously, judging by the sub looking as big as my pinned specimen..

I had one mismolt though, and I know things happen out of our control, but I know chaeta doesn't need as much moisture as rhombo, I can deliver it more effectively than a sponge in a cup so I have here, a portable usb waterbottle humidifier with a backup battery to keep it going you better love me chaeta..

Awesome log. Rhombodera is an old personal favorite, but Heterochaeta really amazes me every time I see it. Keep it up!

Rhombo is really into tv

 

[bobericc]

There's a few chaeta that had green eyes now, they are turning a blur turquoise, very beautiful

 

[sally]

They are so pretty.

That photo looks like your Heterochaeta wants to give you a big hug. I only have one. Someone gave me one nymph as an extra as part of a trade last fall. I've had her for 14 months now, and she's been an adult for a long time. At the moment, she is my oldest mantid.

 

[sally]

The Rhombos are sub adult now The males are sweet. The females are more aggressive

 

[sally]

Just checked on my Rhombos for the night... New adult female And male

 

[Sticky]

Your new adults are lovely! I had a female Rhombo Valida, she would threaten the tv and a friend of mine.

 

[bobericc]

Congrats, Have your rhombos begun mating sally?

 

[sally]

Congrats, Have your rhombos begun mating sally?

I haven't seen her calling yet, but as soon as she does I will introduce him. I ended up with equal male and female ratio after all

 

[bobericc]

My first chaeta turned to adult yesterday, I believe its a male, he's larger than some of the females lol
