Hi Viv

Here's the page at Siam Insect Zoo, many are unidentified

Also we have a few on our site

Don't know about the colour change, the species I've seen have always been quite small, often near to others the same.

Hi Rob! Thanks for the suggestion. So will they change colour and markings? I've been back today to take another look as it's on one of my morning walks. There are so many, but only on this one stem.
