[QUOTE="minomantis, post: 337134, member: 6680"] I would be curious with high humidity and temperature variety and then humidity with light and use a fish light, leds preferably because the ones these days you can customize a ramp up and now and such and don’t have to do it manually. one thing I know is humidity is important. I can tell you (at least I think with orchids and my experience) that there is a direct correlation with some pink on the legs and humidity. I tested it out so many times. My mantids would molt, pure white. Couple days and would feed them, still white. Would spray (a good spray) the next day and over night they would turn pink. Legs and back of thorax, not deep pink or anything, but they would start to express more color. im curious how to get those deep deep pinks almost purples. [/QUOTE]
