arthropodz Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hey everyone! My d. grantii emerged in september with a beautiful green coloration (as seen in my other posts). However, starting in about november his elytra turned a dark brown and never went back to the typical green, even though the moisture has stayed pretty consistent. He seems perfectly healthy so it's not something I'm worried about, but I was wondering if anyone knew why this happened? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 They usually stay that dark color when there is a good amount of moisture. Try taking him out for an hour and see if he turns to the regular coloration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyes Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Too much moisture, lower the moisture in the substrate by spraying it less often. This does not mean too much moisture is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
