Rhombodera basalis

[Giosan]

Hey guys.. I've noticed my Rhombodera basalis is brown, a very beautiful color i must say! A bit dark green also.

I haven't seen any pictures of brown R. basalis', do more people have them so beautifully brown?!

Yes, very unusual. I like this morph too. In my opinion, R.basalis change their green colour to some another not so easy as Hierodulas do.

Please take photo when she'll turn to adult!

That is a beautiful coloration on that nymph, Sandra! I've never seen one like that either. Very cool... I hope all the greenish-brown color doesn't disappear.
