Eggs gleaming yellowish orange. As nymph grows, a dark brown stippled wavy marking develops on each side, arising from the paler anal plates; these lines diverge anteriorly and then converge toward head, enclosing a lanceolate paler patch on spinal area of dorsum. These darker wavy lines increase in width and cover almost whole dorsum except in median area. Body colour becoming lighter towards margin, with a darker pattern forming spurs towards outer periphery.
