They are already in shipping. It is a bit too late now.

Tybalt molted this evening and he had a good molt. Pics of freshly molted Tybalt will follow soon. He needs time to harden his skin.

 

[MantisGirl13]

Ok. I can't wait to see the pics!

Still waiting for Cleo her molt, but Ghosty molted this morning and I could see him in the drying up fase: He didn't get a Snork.

 

[Mantis Lady]

My new arrivals are finally home, 2 unsexed hierodula goldens despit being a day longer than expected in transit. Not much yellow to see yet. they are green and small. the ghosts can share their fruitflies with them. I am sure I have 1 male, dat is called "Adam." with the other havent seen  its segments clear yet.  I am letteing them eat in their new homes and will have a look on them later

 

[MantisGirl13]

Yay! Ghosty is cool! I can't wait to see the new arrivals!

They both are enjoying their fruitflies   I think it is a male and a female and that is what I wanted.

Spooky molted very secretly: I wanted to feed him and I saw his molt on the botton of his cup. The ghosts are L4 now.

Still waiting for the molt of Cleo. She hasn't eaten for days now.

...and an hour later  she molted. She had a good molt

This picture I took of Cleo this afternoon. I likes this picture because you see Cleo good and background blurry

That "blurry" backround is called bokeh in the photography world. It naturally occurs when  a camera is focusing on one smaller distinct point. 

 

[Mantis Lady]

@Cole 78Ty, i didn't knew that. The pic is made with a phone. but it is hard to get a picture like this. I like this because Cleo is good visible here and not her cup or my desk. I had to delete a lot before I got this one.

 

[Graceface]

Congrats on all the molts! 

 

[MantisGirl13]

@Cole 78 That is really cool, I never knew that! 

Congrats on Cleo's and Spooky's molts!

Thanks, only Aurene and Ayaweya to go now. They both refuses to eat now and show threat pose and slap at their food: I don't want to eat.  I am expecting them to molt next week. the 2 H.goldens I dont know yet. maybe they will fit in the molting times of the others. I will see.

But for L4s they are very small. Think I will be waiting with name giving till their next molt., Or I need to buy a better magnifying glass. The one I have now sucks. Somehow their segments aren't clear too see even with full bellies.

 

[MantisGirl13]

I hope they all molt soon!

[Mantis Lady]

I hope they all molt soon!

Aurene listenend to you and she molted. She has grown a lot. She is L8 now. Only Aaweya need to do hers.

Here a close up of Spooky.

Here is one of the golden hierodulas, but it is still green. Think its color will be changing into yellow in the upcoming molts.

 

[MantisGirl13]

Yay! I am glad she molted. Btw, now that I look closely, Spooky is a girl!

I can't wait to see the golden colors on the hierodula!

[Mantis Lady]

Btw, now that I look closely, Spooky is a girl! 

Oh, then I have a couple of ghosts

 

[cwebster]

Love ghosts. Each one is unique.

 

[MantisGirl13]

I know, I love them too! They are so cool and they each have their own personality!
