Nice :)
If you can call this my image "2nd instar", your youngest image is 3rd instar? (Guide says 5 instars)

Instar
I was told by an entomologist working on stink bugs that the smallest instar in my image was 2nd instar. He was the one that collected and gave them to me to photograph. I wonder if yours are late first install or very early 2nd instar?

I did confirm that my series
I did confirm that my series does start with the 2nd instar. The early second instars are very dark and lighten as they age a little.
Hope this helps,
