Good luck, when I had mine I misted them everyday, all the males when ligth brown and the female went green. (Only one male stayed black, very nice colouring when He hit adult.)

It seems we are cursed with bad camreas. I need a marco lens.

I'll have to save for ages before I can get something real nice. Camreas aren't cheap. <_<

Mantises molt when they please, or are ready. She'll probably molt soon.

Yah but of course there are signs that show they are getting close to molting.

Yep. But sometimes those signs don't even apply. *has mantises eating an hour or so before molting* Unless that's just me. :mellow:

It happened to my ghosts quite a few times, recently my Taiwan flower mantis.

i wouldnt want a green ghost

i think black looks the best on adults

makes them look more spooky :lol:

I'd want a red one, but they're hard to get. I do like the green look on the females, and if you ask me, they all look spooky as adults.

 

[MANTIS DUDE]

Is there such thing as a blue mantis? I bet that in the future they will be able to ganeticly modify them into being pink, blue, red, white, lol.
