"Bright orange instars (teenage bugs - between molt stage and adult stage) resemble adults, with orange-black pattern different than in grown individual and without wings. However, wingpads are visible and become more pronounced with each molt. Adult females have several black spots on rear part of their abdomen, while males have only one." Wikipedia
