cole0pteraDescription
Back on the lime bush found these three hiding under a low leaf, the first observation of more than one on this tree since April 9th when the main cluster dispersed. These look like 3rd instar with coloured head compared to black heads (2nd instar?) when last seen as a group. Not much different from last observation of an individual on this tree on the 22nd

On Phalerian tree the last 2 individuals transition to adults. The first two have still not got full adult colouring after 3 days. I have added a photo from yesterday showing 2 different colourings for the 5th instars, perhaps male/ female?

Revisited sandpaper fig sapling to check out Predatory Stink Bug nymphs. Seem to be some larger individuals (2nd instar?) and feeding on one of the figleaf beetle larvae. Plenty more of those so they might hang around

On the Phalerian tree another group warming up in the sun. I am now assuming that the critters seen on this tree have a different origin to those on the lime bush being about one Instar ahead.

Saw a few of these. Seemed to be hanging around the Hymenocallis lilies in particular. Also found one on Ixora.

Found an adult and older nymph in exactly the same location when visited two days later. (See observations https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/205070230 and https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/205070235)
glendawalter uploaded an interesting sequence which shows an early instar (photo6) which has similarities to this one. https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/40949531

Thought the kids were leaving home today but they were just looking for shade from the sun and returned in the evening. Photo 1 17.00, photo 6 07.30, the rest in between. What are they living off, do they eat each other?
