Hello, my two female came out into adulthood slightly differing in bulkiness, length, overall size, colors

Female number one (the bigger one)

As you notice she is fully green :)

Here is girl number two, she is not entirely green, a little more shy, and smaller (looks more long than stout)

These two are within the norm of variations between mantids from a sinlge hatch. They have had time to develop a little differently, with the aggressive feeding behavior being one important issue. These are nice looking Tau's.

 
Nice closeups!
Thanks

Yeah, the main difference in them is definitely personality, the smaller one hugs the top of the container like i won't see her haha. The bigger girl wants to come climb on me at all times :D
