This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

does anyone know the color of the egg sac for scuds. I keep thinking that it is redish color, but I could be mistaken because that is the most common "hotspot" color i've seen used on the czech nymphs.

The marsupium (egg pouch) appears orange in color.
