Nymphs on Sebastiania fruticosa - Orsilochides guttata
Niceville, Florida, Okaloosa County, Florida, USA
The photos chronicle three different stages in a nymph on Sebastiania fruticosa (Ditrysinia fruticosa). Photo 829 is the first stage, 811 and 836 the second, and 266 the third. This is the second year I have seen this insect developing on this particular bush.

Ventral shots
It appears that going from stage two to stage three, a segment is added to the antennae. Which makes them Pentatomoidea? Or have I miscounted? Do the ventral shots show you what you wanted to see? Thanks for your help.
