Drastic "Byrsotria rothi" size difference

[Zephyr]

These are two adult males from two different sources. Do they look like the same species, and if so, just two massive variations in size?

Hello,

yes, that happened to one of my A. tesselata females. She only lives shortly (about 3 months) after her final molt. I saw her with an ootheca but I don't know if she reproduces successfully. She looked kind of "wrinkly" like your male does. I guess she didn't grow very well in her early stages and so she became an adult only small in size.

Greetings,

Mo

As Walking Leaf said, the little guy had a bad molt earlier in life.
