“Ghost” white spots popped up in Europe around 2015 and have slowly made their way stateside. Pictures are scarce for this variety, but adults look like sun-faded versions of typical white spots. The nymphs, however, are very unique; their leg bands ghostly pale and the abdomen of recently fed individuals distinctly grayish white. Although I wasn’t a fan at first, this variety has really grown on me and is probably my favorite Platymeris aesthetically.
