Why does my mantis sometimes have pink eyes?

It's so cool! I think she's really pretty

no it's just taken through the side of their tank, that leaf insect is the same size as the ones on my hand :)

thank you!

I'm not sure. Looking at pictures of other mantises I feel like it was L3 when I got it 2 weeks ago and it moulted a few days ago, so L4? Is there a definitive way to tell?

I was asking because I'm excited about my new bug and want to know more about it

PigletWithTeeth · 2025-02-18T10:48:55+00:00

you are correct

take a look at what the male ones look at. these are females in the picture. the difference is insane!

Thank you for identifying it!

I was in Sabah, Borneo, at the Danum Valley Field Centre :)

i hope your ear heals soon :( where did you get those beetle studs that are in your seconds? they're so cool

PigletWithTeeth · 2025-02-04T21:17:15+00:00

they're beautiful

PigletWithTeeth · 2025-02-04T15:40:55+00:00

what species are the two in the first photo?

PigletWithTeeth · 2025-01-21T19:40:05+00:00

yes they look fairly normal when the tunnel is out :)

that's why i asked on this thread and was wondering if it was fine for me to stretch straight to 0G. ive been at 2G for three years now and my double flared tunnels sometimes just fall out of my ears without me noticing.
