Ralph Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Looks just like mine, which I'm pretty sure were pure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 They look pure to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadMLane Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought pure cranifer, had jet black wings with no other wing patter/color? Cheers, Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Chad Sometimes they have that other extra marking. It varies from strain to strain. Culling individuals that have it helps keep the colony looking black, though. Also, when you take a picture of a B. craniifer the lighting affects whether that extra mark can be seen or not. **Freshly molted individuals often have it more pronounced since they haven't hardened completely yet.

Lucihormetica Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 For me it looks also like the black wing strain. I have a picture enclosed of a pure Archimandrita tesselata culture. It is a long time ago, but since two year some of them has also the black wing morph. as you can see. that's emaising, that without mixture a morph can dreat in a culture and make all the colour question discutable. best regards Ingo PS: I could not see my picture: who can do it for me?

ChadMLane Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks for the info Kyle. Hopefully I'll have some nice black wing adults once my nymphs molt! Cheers, Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
