Yeah LOL brian corrected me on that today saying if it was male he would be missing his head.

I told him to make a mental note of that for future reference when I have PMS

We saw her again today on our pepper plants. She really is a lovely creature and she is eating quite well in our garden lol.

Females are larger and have a wider and lighter green abdomen.

I have actually seen quite a few of them this year. A very tiny baby one, which was neat but this one was by far the largest I have ever seen.
