Hi guys,

I recently got a female Rhombodera basalis in L6. So far she's been doing well, eating heaps and active. But today I noticed that her feet are a brown color. 

Now in most pictures I've seen of R. basalis the feet are green like the rest of the leg. Is this cause for concern? Should I try to bring the humidity down?

I've been spraying the enclosure every evening, since the plants in it also like it humid. The hygrometer shows 70-75% during the day and 85-90 at night and I thought 

this was within acceptable range. I would really appreciate some help in the matter.

Cheers Tim

Looking back at pictures her legs were already brown when she arrived. Also, the hind legs are much darker than the one in the photo, almost black.
