Do Lucihormetica subcincta nymphs have prominent red coloration on their backs like this? Received as L. subcincta from seller. Thought it was a L. verrucosa trait.

This is indeed L.verrucosa. L.subcincta don't get any colorful markings as nymphs.

This is concerning. I emailed the seller (minus the pic) asking about the markings and coloration and the person confirmed that L. subcincta does have prominent dorsal markings. All the other nymphs will not be this size for another good many months. It seems I will need to run the pic with the accompanying description by the seller again.

Yeah this is definitely verrucosa, subcincta don't have those markings, the seller is sadly mistaken. Leads me to wonder if they even have actual L.subcincta...
