WOW!!! Congratulations!

I have some in my garden. I kept one for observation. I caught it as a nymph last January. I initially fed it some termites and fruitflies, then some pinheads and mealworms. Such a voracious feeder. It has already molted 5 times. The most recent was yesterday. It is now an adult with wings. It was green as a nymph, but changed its color to bark brown during its last molt.
