Thank you, friends, all credits go to mother nature, my only work was making 'click' =) . Because this happened at home I made a whole series of the insects borning and then of the nymphs molting into mature insects. It all took 2 months and I hope to share a couple of the more representative pictures in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the attention and comments, PN rules =)
