I almost bought one like that today, but it was only about 1.5 inches so I bought one that was closer to 2.5 inches.

Totally bright green.

The one I bought looks more like army Camoflauge.

i did not kill it but i think it died of natural causes before the mantis got him right before i took those pictures i noticed the crab acting stunned then a few minutes later i saw the mantis on him thats when i took the pictures
