Here are some recent pictures of the three Rhombos I have. The subadult I got from Peter Clausen himself as an L2! The blue female ate a wild grasshopper which rotted her abdomen. After eating that grasshopper she became lethargic and died a week later. The other two gals are doing excellent and eating like crazy. The adult female is looking for a male and I am trying my best to find one for her. I love all the different array of colors this species has. The turquoise wings and the red pink hindwings are so beautiful. I also love the pink hue on the abdomen. I hope you all enjoy these photos! Will be posting more when other female becomes an adult. :) :D
