Rhombodera stalli-legs turning brown

[derryjellybies]

I have a L4 Rhombodera cf. stalli. When I first got her, she was completely green. After the first molt, I noticed she had some brown spots on her legs. She molted again last night and I noticed most of her rear legs are now brown. Is this normal coloring for the species? The mantids in photographs I have seen on google do not have these brown markings. I just want to make sure this is not any sort of health issue.

I apologize if this is a silly question. I'm very new to the hobby and I am still learning.

She's fine, some individuals get this coloring on the back legs.

I am not sure, hope it is ok!

Thank you both for your input! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. It is a relief to learn that this coloration is normal.
