These are colored artificially with a mystery chemical which is present as a yellow dust. Upon relaxing these critters in water or water vapour their brilliant blue is lost :-( If you must have one, just remove from card, carefully stab with your pin of choice and add to collection 'as is'. r.ebay.com/81VE0E |

Thanks for the warning. My dark blue bought from another seller in Canada is still dark blue.
I'd love to add a bright blue Lamprima to my collection, but I'll be very careful now.
What color do these turn when they are relaxed?
