Comments: An attractive brown species
with long black/white stripped antennae. They are a very
lazy species that dislike moving much, apart from when they are
being handled and are then very fast moving. They develop red
wings as adults and are fast growing as nymphs. They will
fly readily and un-expectedly, so take care.
