Hi Argy, thanks. I've seen both of yours and brisbaneinsects, my gosh, seems like they do have the ability to blend in with the colour of the surroundings. Fascinating .... can't wait to see the adults :)

Great find Chiquita!
Yours matches the brown very well on that tree while mine matched the grey very well on the lemon scented gum. Looks like they may be able to choose their colour somewhat.
