I picked up 2 nymphs (one subadult, one pre-subadult) at the S.E.A.S today...

I was so annoyed when I got back and realised that I had bought two males!

What happened was that I sexed a pair and left them to the side at the very start of the show, then had a look around on other tables and when I got back to that stand, there were two cups on the side where I had left the sexed pair earlier... so I thought that they were them and bought them without checking. Stupid me!

Good news. I managed to find someone selling a subadult female so she should be coming sometime next week from outside the UK.

The subadult female arrived.

Oh man, that's the first male down. :'(

He started moulting to adult just before I went to eat dinner so I took this photo then. When I came back, his antennae and raptorials had gotten stuck so his thorax had 'snapped' in half and his body was very deformed. I hope this doesn't happen with the one pair I have left.

I've seen this a few times on FB, this one is very interesting. I think I saw the adult one which relly looks like a violin. This one you have here has "petals" shape bottom.

Yeah, I really love the shape of adult females. They really do look like a violin lol.
