Hi Daniel
Hope you are not angry that I am contacting you again. Why are some of the larger bugs turning white. See the picture. I don’t know if it is a young bug getting mature or a mature bug getting older.

No Problem Susan. The light individual is newly metamorphosed, and once the exoskeleton fully hardens, the color will darken.
Thank you. I really am afraid of bugs. this is a whole new experience for me.
Thanks for helping me.
