I had one of those, and she died as a nymph. I'm still not sure why . . . she got really fat every time I fed her, and I was worried about overfeeding. I wonder if an irregular feeding schedule had anything to do with it.

The link below is pictures of her hiding in my fiancee's orchids. Scroll down for "orchid camo."
