Key Identification Features
- When at rest, the green forewings, modified into tegmina, cover the slightly shorter, distinctly pink membranous hind wings (modified into alae), but females cannot fly.
- This creates a distinct lateral stripe over the mesonotum and half the abdomen when the wings are closed.
- Hatchlings have distinct carinae along the center and edges of their body, and already have the high, pointed forehead that is characteristic of the species.
- In Haaniella grayii, this ovipositor has six more or less distinct teeth.
