Thanks to some prodding by a helpful list member, I have been researching
wax moth information available on the net.  It seems to say fairly
consistently that Lesser wax moth larvae are small and pink, while greater
wax moth larvae are large and white.

In the photos on my wax moth page, which were all taken at once from one
colony, I have small, white and large, pink larvae.

Can anybody help me to reconcile this?

Frank.
