Elasmucha fieberiObserver
pascallosekootDescription
This nymph caught my eye because of the completely black antennas, which, I think, is unusual for grisea.
However, it also has a way less clear black drawing on the onsets of the wings and between them, unlike grisea.
I am not sure if this is a 100% failproof way to distinguish grisea and fieberi, but in this case it seems it was the case:
I breeded the nymph in a small tube with some blueberry (leaves and berries).
At July 11th, it because an adult, and it is indeed fieberi!

I raised this one from instar III to adult at home. The final proces, shown here chronologically, took about one hour.
I hope you enjoy the pictures, I was absolutely amazed.

Has the whitish part of the bug's body to do with the process of casting its skin? The bug was in the position as in the second photo and did not attempt to flee when I lifted the plant to take a picture of its upside.
