Delayed Development Sibling - Nezara viridula

Delayed Development Sibling - Nezara viridula
San Pedro, Los Angeles County, California, USA
October 1, 2011
Size: 6mm apx
I thought I would include this as its displays the red underside of the latter dark instars. I believe this is the second to last instar before an adult. Three of its siblings are the Green Adults submitted. All the individuals in this series were found together in their second instar, all exactly the same size and looking exactly the same. They were on the same little cherry tomato, bunched up around the calyx.
