Sybilla Pretiosa

i spelled Sibylla wrong

I recently had a female molt to adult and has some unusual color to her.

This is my first adult of this species so I'm not really sure what colors to expect.

I will post pics soon, but until then I invite you all to post pics of the adults you have had

(These things take FOREVER to reach adulthood)

Thanks

That's funny you made this topic, I was thinking about making a similar one myself. I had read a thread on UKMF where someone said males are always brown, people then posted pics of green males but no one mentioned brown females. I'm 90% sure I have rusty reddish brown female,this is my first time with this species too so it may be totally normal? I'll try to get a pic once the sun is fully out.

it's not the greatest, but this is the only shot I have that shows the male's wings

I will post pics in about twenty minutes of her, she's kind of a tannish pink

I plan on sending these guys to someone else, if it doesn't work out then yes

 

[Mime454]
