Reminds me of an orchid (I think that's how u spell it)What kind of flower is that?
It is personal lol. Flowers make special targets. I can’t keep hybiscus because my female will just sit at eat. Other plants very on tastiness but new leaves are best."they do it for fun" "its just ruffage, they dont digest it" Im still not on board with that one. That is not a starved cham that is so desperate she is eating vegetable matter just to survive the drought![]()

Right now dubia and crickets. In summer more bees wasps and fly’sWhat insects do you feed her @CasqueAbove ?
So they are eating the flowers when they are eating insects with quite a bit of chitin in them?

The licking is interesting. I guess she was trying to determine how yummy it is.Yes. She is a plant muncher, but primarily new shoots. When I first got the orchids she ate just the center. I figured because it looks like a bug. This time when they bloomed at first she was licking the flower. I assumed that she was just getting some water drops. But the mist had not been on. As I tried to get a pic she started eating. Now as each opens she eats it. I have her wintering so lower temp and only feed 3 times a week with 2 med to large cricket sized meal.
The licking was interesting, she clearly tasted the center several times prior to munching.
I've never heard of monkeys doing that! Interesting! Some monkey species also eat leaves to self treat for parasites.Its like the monkeys that when they catch some "meat" they mix it with some leaves for fiber![]()
The licking is very interesting!
The reason I asked about the insects you're feeding her is because if they are supposed to eat plant material for roughage I still wonder why they still eat plant material when they are eating insects with chitin/roughage in them?
Not saying that they don't eat them for roughage at times, but it makes me think that thre is another reason as well....just not sure why. Maybe looking for nutrients or trying to get rid of parasites or ???
