Fig. 1

Changes in darkness across nymphal stages exposed to two different sets of radiant heat regimes (first round R1, and second round R2). In each set of panels, upper panels show low radiant heat treatments, bottom panels show high radiant heat treatments. Each line represents the trajectory of an individual (some individuals have only one observation per nymphal stage, and therefore appear only as a dot without line). Brown lines represent brown morphs, while green lines represent green morphs. Nymphal stages are measured in days since the start of each nymphal stage. Darkness has four levels, with 1 representing the lightest colour morph and 4 representing the darkest colour morph
