Dyme sp.

    Interesting looking ova!  The nymphs are a very light green (almost neon), with black spots all over them.  As they grow, the black spots disappear, and the phasmid takes on a less brilliant light-green color.  Later it assumes a green-apple color, which is medium-glossy.

Foodplants: bramble
