...no I think maybe 4th instar...
Definitely a nymph Ashish. I'll need to research this one further but I think I saw a reference somewhere showing it as the final (5th?) instar...
Lovely Bug... Nymph or Adult..?
what a handsome bug
Thanks people - I will do the right thing and ID these but it's getting late so it's just photos for now.
