      Yes they are!! I'm not sure. The biologist said there is a "dark female on the midrib" (at 1 o'clock)..so I am guessing the white ones are larva, at some stage because I notice that some are just small brown insects with no white protrusion. Then there are couple that have a very small amount of white coming out of the body. Posted 10 months ago

        That makes sense, possibly the top left ones are adults. Posted 10 months ago
