Developmental series for four species used in this study. Developmental duration for each life stage is noted. Average egg diameter, 1st instar length, and 2nd instar length was as follows: Sibaria englemani = 1.0, 1.3, 2.0 mm; Edessa n sp. 1 = 2.5, 3.0, 4.1 mm; Edessa bugabensis = 2.4, 3.1, 4.4 mm; Mormidea aff. ypsilon = 0.6, 0.7, 1.0 mm, respectively. nm, Developmental duration for 2nd instars of all species other than S. englemani are unknown, due to high mortality at this stage and unsuccessful metamorphosis to the 3rd instar.
