    Impressive identification if they are so variable. What gives it away? Posted 9 years ago

      The Brown and Black ones are actually quite similar, one of the characteristics are the tiny spines on their thorax. The brown with green band on the back is probably still a sub-adult Female. The other 2 are adult Females. I have seen nymphs that are completely green in colour, so it could be the phases from nymphs to sub-adult to adult, that they loses the green colour and takes on the black and brown colours of adulthood.
