[QUOTE="PseudoDave, post: 9342, member: 123"] With such variation in the individuals anyway, how can anyone be sure if it is environmental aspects affecting their colour? I think many people have tried this, even if it was only a half-hearted attempt, like dropping a single flower of a particular colour in the enclosure. I personally have never seen anything that may suggest its the environment, but obviously if somebody has a large scale experiment going, even if it were only with three factors and 5 nymphs per factor, then it would give a better result than only with a few nymphs. You could then be sure just by looking at those groups whether or not different stimulus are in play, or if the variation is just the same as the variation in humans and pretty much every other animal on the planet. If you keep an amount of nymphs in the exact same conditions and colours etc, then you will still see much diversity in the colouring of the mantids.
