Shelfordella lateralis variation - Shelfordella lateralis - female

Shelfordella lateralis variation - Shelfordella lateralis - Female
These are from S. lateralis I bought in the pet trade. These are in between an older instar and younger instar. These are all females. I picked out the ones from different cultures where they are in different environments. I have had younger nymphs be all the way light orange with no black (or blueish) belly. And I had some nymphs younger than these in the photos that were pretty much completely black.
