Initially, larvae are entirely reddish-orange, but they darken to light brown after one day. Legs retain a yellowish-orange coloration. The most notable comparative difference between larvae and nymphs is the addition of a fourth pair of legs. All three nymphal growth stages are similar in appearance except for subtle increases in size through their progressive developmental stages. Overall body color is dark brown.
Legs are yellowish-orange.
Prior to each molt, nymphs become plump and take on a greenish-tinge. Third instar nymphs undergo a final molt to become adult WGMs. Adults have dark brownish to black bodies with the aforementioned greenish tinge. This text was extracted from the publication, MF-2073.
