So now that they're all in their second instar, I'm noticing some drastic differences in coloration! At first they were all more or less the same, but now I have one that is predominantly green, one that is a very dark brown, and one that has a dark brown back, but his ventral side is green! I'll try to get some decent pics of them in the morning, but for now I was wondering if their coloration might be indicative of anything? I've read here on the forum that things like diet and environment affect coloration, but they've all had identical diets and habitats!
