The given size is measured from the head to the end of the abdomen, without the wings.
Male
ca. 3cm
Female
ca. 4cm
Lifespan
Quotation of the Lifespan
The lifespan is given in month and has the following definition:
overall-age ("time between hatching and imago" + "lifespan after the last molting")
Example: 9 (2 + 7) month lifespan
overall-age = 9 month
time between hatching and imago = 2 month
lifespan after the last molting = 7 month
Male
ca. 5.5 (2.5 + 3) months / ~ 6 moltings
Female
ca. 9 (3 + 6) months / ~ 7 moltings
Sexing
Sexing
Morphologically differences between male and female.
Male
L5 and above: by counting the abdomial segments at the bottom of the abdomen (8 segments), the base of the antennas is thicker than of the female
adult: the wings are longer than the abdomen, a more thin body than the female, otherwise by counting the segments
Female
L5 and above: only counting the abdomial segments at the bottom of the abdomen (6 segments), the base of the antennas is as thick as the whole antenna
adult: big abdomen, the wings are not longer than then the abdomen, otherwise by counting the segments

Colorvariants
