Among my 3 L2 S. carolina. nymphs, I am noticing quite a big size difference! I got all three of them as L1s (as far as I could tell), and their size was fairly uniform. And even after their first molt the other week, they were still more or less the same size, with Charlie being slightly larger. Now however, Charlie is HUGE compared to the others! I haven't seen any evidence of a second molt, but she is definitely a lot bigger. I'm guessing that this means she is a female and the other two are male? Does sexual dimorphism usually manifest this early on?
