Dorylea orini

Fifth Instar
I had one mature and I just had a couple questions.

Do all adults have wings? Or do adult females look similar to sub adults?

How short lived or long lived are they after they reach sexual maturity?

Thanks, Nick

 
All the adults have wings. The nymphs are quite beautiful but the adults aren't nearly so pretty. I'd guess six to nine months with a year or more being quite exceptional.

 
Thank you Orin! I know some species die soon after maturing, so I was just worried I'd miss my chance to get these going. I have a couple more close to maturing so that puts my mind at ease.

These are becoming a fast favorite of mine!
