The given size is measured from the head to the end of the abdomen, without the wings.
Male
about 2cm
Female
about 2,5cm
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
about 6 (4 + 2) month
Female
about 10 (4 + 6) month
Sexing

Morphologically differences between male and female.
Male
L5 and above: only by counting the abdominal segments at the bottom of the abdomen (8 segments)
adult: the wings are longer than the wings of the females, a more thinner body, otherwise by counting the segments
Female
L5 and above: only by counting the abdominal segments at the bottom of the abdomen (6 segments)
adult: big abdomen, the wings are shorter, otherwise by counting the segments

The description of this species is based on individuals of the following origin:
Goa (India)
Asia
Habitat
bushes
Aggressiveness
low
Colorvariants
completely brown morphs known
Hint
Antennas are moved fast through the air. Since the nymphs are small when hatching, it is not very easy to feed them. This causes a medium keeping-difficulty.
