Hey Omar,

Nice pictures. I like how the nymphs look so different from adults. Those guys look neat. 

I hope you are enjoying em!

Right? Cute and creepy all at once!

Who'd think such beauty can come from a shiny little black death machine like this?

I know it’s downright difficult to *** a nymph but can we count the segments here? Male or female folks?

More sauce. I'd need a better angle.

These are L1s after all.

I dont even know if the abdominal sections hold proportion until later instar.

One of the things to look for is that the last section is typically larger in the female and smaller in the male, with respect to the other sections. Counting the sections is obv tough when they're this tiny.

You can't *** an L1. You can tell at L3 + but not that young, sorry!
