Young lubber, Romalea microptera
Nymph R. microptera with its characteristic black and yellow-striped body.
Young nymphs are highly gregarious, and remain gregarious through most of the nymphal period, though the intensity dissipates with time. Especially at night, they tend to aggregate, and may climb vegetation to rest for the evening.
