Yes, @Chun, this do happens with Phasmids, especially the winged species. Some species are all dull and boring in black/brown/grey and at the last stage of moulting to adulthood, they will show their true colors :D
What!? The nymphs looks so different from the adults!
Its the same specie as your Crested Stick Insect spotting, @Chun : http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/226796021
